How to share canvases in presentation and reports

PreviousDynamic textNextIntro to Count Metrics

Last updated 22 days ago

Count supports presenting canvases in two ways:

  • Reports: Scrollable frames with an easily accessible navigation bar that allows for more complex and taller, document-style layouts.

  • Slides: Fixed frames with a dark user interface for showing your canvas as slides is perfect for presenting on screen or making fullscreen "information radiator" views.

To begin, ensure that you have at least one frame, and then click Present in the canvas navigation bar. To exit, click Back to canvas, or use the Esc keyboard shortcut.

Settings

In the top right of the screen is a button to control the view options:

  • Report / Slides - toggles between the two presentation methods

  • Shown in report - choose which frames are included in the report in which order

  • Default view:

    • Fit to screen - displays the frame at actual size or scales the frame down so its largest dimension fits completely if larger than the screen

    • Fit to width - scales the frame until its width fills the screen

    • Fill screen - scale the frame up so its largest dimension fits within the screen

    • Actual size - presents the frame with its set pixel size

    • Custom - enables you to set the above options on a per-frame basis

  • Hidden in report - these frames are not shown in the report

  • Show report by default - links to this canvas from your workspace will default to the report URL

When in the slides presentation mode, the following additional settings are shown:

  • Autoplay - enable auto-cycling through frames in this report. This is helpful if your report is designed to be viewed passively

  • Time per frame - the time before the next slide when autoplaying

Sharing slides and reports

  • Selecting Share to web shares the report publicly, but not the canvas.

  • Inviting a person only shares the report with them, not the canvas.

To share reports with people but not canvases, ensure that the Can view report only option is selected.

Note that other workspace members may be able to view the canvas if the canvas is shared with the project or workspace, or if the project is shared with the workspace.

Commenting

Use the keyboard shortcut C to add a comment, or click the comment icon in the navigation bar:

Any workspace member or guest can comment on a report. Comments made outside of the report frames are not visible in reports, but remain visible in the canvas.

Clicking the Share button while viewing a report opens the report share menu, which behaves very similarly to the except that:
