1.4 Developing as a Team
It is common for multiple developers to work on the same set of projects, and Style Intelligence supports such team development in a variety of ways.
To set permissions for dashboards, Worksheets, and folders, see Repository Permissions and Component/Object Permissions in Administration Reference.
Dashboards and Data Worksheets can be created and edited entirely through the web-browser. Therefore, to work as a team on dashboards and Worksheets, developers should simply log into the same server and edit the dashboards and Worksheets using Visual Composer. See Getting Started with Dashboards and Getting Started with Data Mash-Up for more information.
Data Worksheets can also be created and edited in Style Studio.
Reports, data sources, queries, data models, and reusable assets such as table styles and parameter sheets are created on the desktop using Style Studio. A developer who works on these assets must therefore have an installation of Style Studio. The easiest way to develop these assets as a team is to utilize a shared repository. The repository is the location from which Style Studio reads and writes these assets, and by sharing the same repository developers can access and edit the same assets.
There are three different types of repositories, “local”, “database”, and “server”, and any of these can be shared for team development. See Configuring a Repository and Sharing a Repository for information on how to set up and share a repository. To deploy assets from one repository to another (e.g., from a development repository to a production server repository), see Deploying a Report, Data Source, or Other Asset.
