To do this, you need to add/import a new data into the Zoho Recruit Workspace as explained in the previous question and then define a look-up to join it with the synchronized table from Zoho Recruit. Refer this video demo to know more about how to define a look-up column and auto-join tables for reporting.
Alternatively you can also join data between tables using " Query Tables ". (Refer this video demo )

When you rename a module in Zoho Recruit, it will automatically get updated in Zoho Analytics as well.
You can easily share the default reports provided in the Zoho Analytics connector and also the reports you create using the share option. Refer to Sharing and Collaboration help page to learn more.
Once you privately share a report to your colleagues they will be able to access the same as you do, following the steps below:

1. If you share the data tables in the Zoho Recruit Workspace to users, they will be able to create their own reports over the same.
2. If you add a user as a Workspace Administrator in the Zoho Recruit Workspace created in Zoho Analytics (Refer Managing Users in Zoho Analytics , to know how to add Workspace Administrators), the user will be able access all the data & reports, create new reports and do any operation that you could do on the Workspace.
When a Zoho Recruit Administrator configures the Zoho Recruit - Zoho Analytics connector, the tables and reports will be available only to him/her, by default. The Administrator has to share the 'Zoho Recruit Analytics' database with other members of the organization. Only then will the default reports be accessible by those members. Let's say the Administrator has shared the database with other members in the organization. And a member creates his/her own reports. Those reports will be available only to him/her alone, unless he/she shares them with others.
To know more, refer to Sharing and Collaboration help page.
The Zoho Recruit Administrator who setup the connector should share the tables present in ' Zoho Recruit Analytics' database with other members of the organization. Once this is done, the shared users can create reports based on those tables.
To know more, refer to Sharing and Collaboration help page.

Zoho Analytics supports fine-grained access control. The following are are user roles that are supported in Zoho Analytics:
1. Administrator (Master Admin): The Zoho Recruit Administrator who had setup the connector will also be the administrator of the Zoho Analytics account
2. Workspace Administrator: The Administrator can designate one or more users as Workspace Administrators. A Workspace Administrator has all permissions to add, delete, modify reports, table rows and even tables. A Workspace Administrator can share the database tables/reports with other users. A Workspace Administrator cannot delete or rename a database.
3. User: A user has the least privilege in the hierarchy. Unless the Administrator or a Workspace Administrator shares a table with a user, the user cannot create any reports on his/her own. Also, an Administrator/Workspace Administrator can decide to set specific permissions when sharing a report (Read Only, Export Data, View Underlying Data, Share with Others) or a table (Read Data, Export Data, Add/Delete/Modify Row, Delete All Rows, Only Append Rows, Add or Update Rows, Delete All Rows and Add New Rows, Share View / Child Reports).
Refer to Managing Users in Zoho Analytics , to know more about different user roles in Zoho Analytics. Also refer to Sharing and Collaboration help page.
This is the expected behavior. If the user being shared to is a Workspace Administrator, he/she can edit the reports. If a normal user wants to edit report, what he/she can do is to use 'Save As' to save the report in a different name in his account. This report can then be edited.
Yes, you can. Refer to this help documentation to know how this can be done.
