• Designated Department: Allow members of the designated department to search, or view. You can specify that members under one or more departments can search, or view.

If you have selected multiple dashboards with the same authorized sharing scope, when you click "Share", you can view their current sharing scopes; if the sharing scopes are different, you cannot view them, but you can still authorize the selected dashboards in bulk. After authorization, these dashboards have the same sharing scope.
