Are Public URLs Really Public?
No. Only the person with the unique link has it (which you can delete/remove at any time). They are non-indexable links -- think of these like a unique Dropbox or Google Drive link.
Are Passwords Required For Public URLs?
No. You can leave the password field blank.
The view of my Public URL That I Created Doesn't Match My Dashboard.
Public URLs will show data for the last 30 days by default and group data on a daily basis when viewed by other users besides yourself. If you want to force the dates for Public URLs, you have two options:
1. Enable the date picker so your viewers can choose their own dates by using the "date_picker" parameter like this: https://app.cyfe.com/dashboards/682/4f1e480ccb8cf101202552286564?date_picker=1
2. Lock the URL to a specific date range and group by method by using the "sdate", "edate", and "groupby" parameters like this: https://app.cyfe.com/dashboards/682/4f1e480ccb8cf101202552286564?sdate=20140101&edate=20140331&groupby=month
P.S. You can use the "theme" parameter to force either the "dark" or "light" theme like this:https://app.cyfe.com/dashboards/682/4f1e480ccb8cf101202552286564?theme=light
