Hi Sathya! Well, it depends on what you mean by feature for Sales Performance 😁We have several templates that have been set up to monitor the sales performance of a team and that have been adopted by numerous customers. But in terms of features, we would need to better understand your use case, what value you expect to be delivered by that feature, and what you are currently doing to do the job of that feature to measure the ROI. Shoot me a message here or on my linkedin!
Best,
JP

Yes, a creator of a dashboard and report can share and deliver other users the right to modify and edit them. When owners share a dashboard for example, they can define the level of access the recipient receives, from editing to just viewing/filtering rights and define row-level security to ensure they only see data according to your governance policies.
Furthermore, we have capabilities to help both the owner and designer understand when a shared dashboard has been updated and how to apply local changes to apply across the entire deployment.
