   Yes, exactly. I didn't include my text in the original post, so here it
   is. It's a heading, "Share a Custom View via URL". The way the user
   shares a custom view (in a web browser dashboard) is to set everything
   up and then copy the resultant URL, which encodes all sorts of info
   about what to show in the custom view. So the user is sharing by view
   "by way of" sharing the resultant URL.
