Liveboards
You can search across all existing answers, PinboardsLiveboards, and visualizations in Pinboards Liveboards that are built on worksheets where you have access. Use this functionality if you cannot remember the exact name of a useful answer, do not remember which Pinboard Liveboard a visualization is on, or if you are simply wondering if someone else already created an answer or Pinboard Liveboard that would suit your needs.
The home page displays the Search answers experience by default. You can select a specific worksheet from the Sources dropdown to the left of the search bar, or search across all worksheets that you have access to. Type your query into the search bar at the top of the screen. Select Go or click Enter on your keyboard. For example, search gross orders in the last year if you are looking for a particular Pinboard Liveboard about sales that a coworker made. This type of search does not require you to be extensively familiar with your company’s data and how it is organized.

For example, search sales gross revenue last year store #103 bakerypub type to see last year’s sales in the bakery department for store 103gross revenue by pub type.
