How can an application or dashboard be shared within a Community?

The best method for sharing an application or dashboard within a Community involves ensuring that the sharing settings specifically acknowledge the Community context. Checking the "Enable Sharing with Communities" box is a crucial step in defining how an application or dashboard can be accessed by the members of that Community. This setting allows the application or dashboard to be appropriately visible and usable for Community members, facilitating collaboration and access while respecting access controls and permissions defined within that Community structure.

While creating a public link might allow broader access outside the Community, it does not guarantee the necessary integration or appropriate access controls for the specific needs or requirements of a Community-based sharing strategy. Similarly, sharing through email invitations can create additional complexity and does not foster the intended collaborative environment within the Community. Lastly, setting the application or dashboard as public might offer unrestricted access to anyone, not specifically addressing the targeted sharing needs of a defined Community. Therefore, enabling sharing through the specific box designed for Community integration is the most effective and secure approach.
