6. Selectively share columns from table s

While you've always had the option to share data securely with your peers using Analytics Plus, this update takes it a step further. Now you can securely share tables with your peers by excluding columns containing sensitive data or personal information.

While creating reports, Analytics Plus automatically picks the most appropriate lookup column between two or more tables. The new update lets you modify this default lookup relationship and customize your reports any way you like.
