Module 1 · Set up your workspace

Read 8 minLesson 1 of 9

Orient yourself in the workspace

Find the settings and shared resources you will use as an administrator.

In this lesson

  • Locate workspace settings, shared dashboards, and the activity log.

A workspace is the shared area where your team manages data sources, dashboards, and access. Start by reviewing its name, default time zone, and existing content. These settings shape what teammates see and how dates appear in reports.

First workspace review

  1. 1
    Check the workspace name

    Use a name that helps teammates distinguish this workspace from others.

  2. 2
    Confirm the time zone

    Choose the time zone your team uses for reporting periods and scheduled updates.

  3. 3
    Review shared content

    Look through dashboards and folders before creating duplicates.

  4. 4
    Inspect recent activity

    Use the activity log to understand recent changes to settings and shared resources.

Invite teammates thoughtfully

Add users with the least access needed for their work.

In this lesson

  • Match a teammate's responsibilities to an appropriate workspace role.

Before inviting someone, identify what they need to do: view dashboards, create analyses, manage data sources, or administer the workspace. Assign the narrowest role that supports those tasks. You can expand access later if responsibilities change.

Before you send an invitation

  • Confirm the teammate needs access to this workspace.
  • Choose a role based on tasks, not seniority.
  • Check whether the workspace contains sensitive data.
  • Tell the teammate how to request additional access.

Check 5 minLesson 3 of 9

Check your workspace setup

Review core settings and invitations before moving on.

In this lesson

  • Identify a safe first step when preparing a workspace for a team.

Use this check to confirm that you can prepare the workspace without granting unnecessary access.

Knowledge checkA teammate needs to view existing dashboards but will not edit them or manage data. What is the best approach?

Module 2 · Manage access and data

Read 9 minLesson 4 of 9

Choose roles by responsibility

Understand the difference between viewing, creating, and administering.

In this lesson

  • Distinguish common viewer, editor, and administrator tasks.

Roles describe broad capabilities, while sharing settings can further limit who sees a particular dashboard or folder. Review both when someone reports missing access. Avoid making a person an administrator just to solve a content-sharing problem.

Module 2 · Manage access and data

Try it 12 minLesson 5 of 9

Connect and validate a data source

Set up a connection and check that its data is current and interpretable.

In this lesson

  • Connect a permitted data source and check a sample of its records.
  • Recognize common signs of a stale or incorrectly mapped dataset.

Connection and validation routine

  1. 1
    Confirm permission

    Use a source your organization has approved for this workspace. Avoid uploading sensitive data to a practice space.

  2. 2
    Select the source

    Choose the intended source and provide the connection details through Lumenly's secure setup flow.

  3. 3
    Review field mapping

    Check that dates, categories, and numeric values are recognized as the right kinds of fields.

  4. 4
    Inspect a sample

    Compare a few visible records with the original source and check the latest update time.

Module 2 · Manage access and data

Check 5 minLesson 6 of 9

Check your access and data decisions

Apply least privilege and basic data validation to common situations.

In this lesson

  • Choose a sensible first response to an unexpected data result.

Reliable analysis starts with both appropriate access and a basic check of the underlying data.

Knowledge checkA dashboard total is unexpectedly low just after a new data connection. What should you check first?

Module 3 · Build and share useful dashboards

Read 8 minLesson 7 of 9

Design a dashboard around a question

Choose a clear purpose before adding charts.

In this lesson

  • Turn a team question into a focused dashboard layout.

Start with a question your audience needs to answer, such as, “Which support topics increased this month?” Select a small set of measures that answer it. Give charts descriptive titles and state the date range or filter context so viewers can interpret them correctly.

A useful dashboard includes

  • A clear title that names the question or purpose.
  • Measures that are relevant to that purpose.
  • Labels that explain units, categories, and time periods.
  • Filters whose effects are easy for viewers to understand.

Module 3 · Build and share useful dashboards

Try it 10 minLesson 8 of 9

Share with context

Set audience access and explain how to interpret the dashboard.

In this lesson

  • Share a dashboard with an intended audience and a useful explanation.

Prepare a dashboard for sharing

  1. 1
    Confirm the audience

    List the people or group who need the dashboard and check whether they should view or edit it.

  2. 2
    Review the content

    Check that titles, date ranges, filters, and measures match the question the dashboard is meant to answer.

  3. 3
    Set sharing access

    Grant access to the intended audience using the narrowest suitable permission.

  4. 4
    Add a short explanation

    Describe the data period, important filters, and any known limitations viewers should keep in mind.

Check your dashboard-sharing plan
