Exporting and Importing Shared Content

The THWACK Content Exchange (CX) is where users of the products can freely share their own contributions as well as use content crafted by the community. The CX is organized by category and then by content type.

Exporting Content to Share

If you've created a report, alert, application template, etc. that you'd like to share with the community, navigate to the appropriate CX category and review the information at the top on how to best share the content.

Instructions for the Orion Reports Content Exchange

Once familiar with the process, click on the Create button to begin sharing.

On the right-hand rail are the steps for uploading your content.  The instructions are slightly different for each content type, so be sure to review them before submitting.

Instructions for Uploading Content

After you've completed the recommended steps and are satisfied with the content, click "Post" to share it with the community.

Editing your Shared Content

Since this is your piece of content, you are free to update it as you like.  Simply navigate to the content page click More, and select Edit.

Edit Your Own Content

You can change the file, the title, description, and the tags.  Click Post to re-submit.

Exploring and Importing Community Content

Within each content exchange space, you can use the search at the top to find content you want.
