• Key Concepts: 
  A shared element is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise (BI-BIP-BOE) that allows users to share objects, such as reports, dashboards, and documents, across multiple applications. This feature enables users to access the same content from different applications, making it easier to collaborate and share information. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the shared element feature, users must first create an object in one application. Then, they can select the “Share” option in the application and enter the name of the object they want to share. The object will then be available in other applications that have access to the shared element. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When sharing an object, make sure to check the permissions settings to ensure that only authorized users can access the object. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which objects have been shared and with whom, as this will help ensure that all users have access to the most up-to-date version of the object.
