Make Embedded Views visible in Public access mode

Our company would like to share documents made up of different views with people outside of the organisation. The views are embedded into a document to provide an overview, with accompanying text and images for context and description.

The purpose could be to share status about a project, a product development cycle, business information etc.

Very much like this page Open startup — Fibery

Yes this would be great :heart: We want to use it to create a project document which contains all information in a very ‘want to read’ way (instead of just ‘dry tables or reports’).

Would also love this!

The reason it does not work here is the same why we can’t easily implement sharing of other views (Board, Table, etc).
The problem here is permissions. There is no way to give access to these shared entities in Fibery yet. We are working on entity permissions and in this case any View will work as a permission container, like it will provide access to all entities visible on this view. It is unclear when it will be done, but it will unlock this feature.

Any update on this?

Even a v1 of ‘view only’ mode with linked entities unclickable.

Just voted for this feature, ie. sharing a single view with guests outside of my organization. In my case, I would like to share a boardview (kanban) with two guests who could see the status and make edits on the board only.

I hadn’t realized this is still a limitation and promised my clients a public view of their ticketing board.
I hope this makes the roadmap soon.,

Hi Enoma

It’s a bit too late at night here to try this myself today, but I might have found a loophole. You can embed a view on an external website (Fibery)

If you do that (like an html in a private repo on github, hosted with github pages) and then make that embed cover 100% of length and with, and then embed thát website in your public view, perhaps that could work?

To do this I need to make the space public first correct? (I’m guessing since the individual view pages do not actually have a share url.)
I also feel like I have a long and complex road ahead of me to figure out how to make my Clients space public and then hide all the info. Would you know of an existing guide/community article?

Hi Enoma,

I tested my idea, but unfortunately it does not work. I made an empty space that I made public with one document with an Embed view and and Embed, and a second space with some views that are in the Embed and the Embed view of the first space.

Here you see the result:

Inside Fibery:

Public:

Perhaps there is another trick, if I find it I will share it!

Hi Enoma! I think I may have a solution:

Step 1. You already have Space A:
Here is your DB for the ticketing board

Step 2. You make Space B:
Here you make a view that links to your ticketing DBs. So a copy of the View you probably already have at A.

Step 3. You make Space B public. Space A is private.

Step 4. You use the public link to Space B to test now, and then you see that you can see the view even though Space A is not public.

I tested this myself and it works here!.

There you go! I hope this fulfills your needs and that this saves you a bunch of time and headaches! :wink:

If not we can look at it together if you want.

I’m not sure it does work like that. If you share a space publicly, then yes, a view in that space is accessible, but if the entities to be shown in that view live in a db which is not in the publicly-shared space, I don’t think an anonymous user visiting the public space will see any entities in that view.

Maybe I’ve misunderstood what you’re describing…

I tested this and it seems to work! I will test again in a bit and report back by editing this post!

Edit: you are right Chris. My Space A was public without me noticing. When I made it private it didn’t work.

But I have another idea: what if you just have another DB in Space B (the public one) and you automatically sync both DBs (from Space A to Space B) so you can make one Space public that has all the necessary entities, and the other doesn’t (so everything besides this view is not visible publicly).
