4. Does the user need a Zoho account to access the Views published?

When you publish the view(s) with Access Permission as Public on the web, your users do not require a Zoho login to access view(s) published.

When you publish the view(s) within your Zoho Analytics Organization or within your Zoho Organization, only users who are part of your organization can access the view. In this case, users need to login to the organization account in Zoho to access the view(s).

5. What will the users see from the Public Views?

The users will be able to see the data that you have granted access to. The visibility to the users depends on the permission granted / filters applied by you (Account Administrator, Organization Administrator, or Workspace Administrator). The users will always see the latest version of the Views/Workspace that you have made accessible to them.

Any data or report or dashboard published will always have the latest live version. And the user will see the data that you have granted access. Like, ‌when a report is published with associated filter criteria, then the user accessing this view will only see the filtered data.
