The Share as Pulse button is shown at the Chart, Count Results and Channel Overview widgets. Clicking it displays the Share Content as Pulse dialog, which allows you to share details of the widget, including a visual representation of its currently-displayed state, a message and file attachments, as a Pulse.
The dialog contains the following:
•Widget image: displayed at the top of the dialog. A screen capture of the widget at the point of sharing is displayed.
•Message: displayed to the bottom left of the dialog. It allows you to specify a Pulse message to accompany the image. Provision of a message is mandatory, and the maximum supported message length is 300 characters.
•Choose Specific Recipients: this button is displayed above the Message field and allows you to select recipients for the Pulse from a context menu. Having selected one or more recipients, the number thereof is displayed as a mini icon at the Choose... button. The sending of Pulse message to specific recipients is described in the Pulses widget documentation.
•Attachments: this section is displayed to the bottom right of the dialog. It allows you to attach files to the Pulse, which will be accessible when displayed as a Pulse. It is accompanied by an Add Attachment button, invocation of which displays the Add File Attachments to Pulse File System Dialog, in which you can select one or more files to attach to the Pulse.
Attachments are listed in the section. An inline Remove Attachment button is displayed on hovering over an attachment, invocation of which removes the attachment without displaying an 'Are You Sure?' dialog. An information tooltip is shown on hovering over an attachment.
Files can be attached automatically when the Share Content as Pulse dialog is displayed. The files attached depend on the widget at which Share was invoked:
o Chart:
§ Attribute
§ Heatmap attribute
§ Function attribute
§ Filter
o Count Results:
§ Rules to Chart
Two buttons are shown at the bottom of the dialog:
•OK: clicking this button posts the Pulse. Having done so, a confirmatory message is displayed.
•Cancel: clicking this button removes the dialog from display.
Note that if the dashboard from which a widget is shared also contains a Pulses widget, the latter is automatically refreshed after content has been shared.
