Publish a dashboard, a map, a data room or a layout for everyone — and copy anyone else's into your own space.
Open CatalogThe Catalog at /catalog is where Haiyz members publish finished work so others can start from it instead of an empty page. Four kinds can be published:
| Kind | What it is |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Pages, widgets and their bindings |
| Map | A Hyz Map with its layers, symbology and opening view |
| Data room | A named bundle of data items |
| Layout template | The arrangement of a printed map sheet — blocks, page size, orientation |
Browsing needs no account: anyone can open the Catalog, filter by kind, search and read an entry's detail page. Copying one into your own space needs you to be signed in.
Publishing is part of the Plus and Enterprise plans. Below that, the button explains the requirement rather than failing after you fill the form. Organization seats and staff accounts resolve above the line.
You also have to manage the thing you are publishing — you must be the owner of the map or the layout, or the manager of the dashboard or the data room. An editor cannot publish someone else's work.
Publish to catalog asks for a bilingual title, a description and a few tags. Publish an object that is already listed and you are told so rather than getting a second entry.
Every entry has an audience. Everyone lists it publicly — anyone can open it and copy it, signed in or not. Specific people and groups hides it from everyone except the people you name (by email or username; someone without an account yet sees it the moment they sign up with that email) and the members of groups you manage. The audience is also what grants read access to the original through the catalog, so narrowing it withdraws that access in the same step. Change it any time from the "Restricted" or "Public" chip next to the entry.
Your original is never changed. Publishing writes a catalog entry that points at your object. It does not move it, copy it, alter its sharing, or hand out its owner's email address — the entry shows a display name, never a contact.
The detail page shows the shape of the thing, never its data:
Being published does grant a role: a published map, data room or dashboard reads as a viewer for anyone who opens it. Publishing is a sharing decision, not just a listing.
Use this creates a copy that you own. The original stays exactly where it was, and every copy counts against your own plan limits — a copy that would take you over answers with a plan-limit notice.
| Kind | What lands in your space |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | A new dashboard of yours, with every source you can read bound to that same source |
| Map | A full duplicate, including byte copies of the layers |
| Data room | A new room of yours, referencing the same data items you are allowed to view |
| Layout template | A private layout template of yours — the arrangement only, no map and no data |
The rule that matters is what happens to a source you cannot read: it is never carried across. A dashboard widget whose data item you cannot access arrives unbound, and the copy reports how many sources were left that way; a room copy skips those items. You get a working copy with honest gaps, not one that leaks or one that refuses over a single binding.
Two more kinds live on the shelf. A style preset is one layer's symbology — colour, stroke, labels, icons, popup and any classification — saved from a layer's style dialog. Using one gives you a private copy; applying it to a layer keeps every field it names that the layer has, lets you map the rest to your own columns, and drops what cannot be matched. A dashboard template keeps a dashboard's layout, widgets and the fields each widget reads — never its sources. Starting from one (New dashboard → Saved templates) asks you to bind each slot to your own data and checks the required fields before anything is created.
The entry's owner — or an administrator — can remove it. Removal takes the entry out of the Catalog and withdraws the viewer role that came with it. It does not delete, unpublish or otherwise touch the object itself, and it does not reach into the copies other people already made: those are theirs.
