+                This error message indicates that your history is setup to allow sharing but your job was run in a

+                To fix this configure your history so that new datasets are private or target a different storage

+            </p>
+            <p>
+                To re-configure your history, click the history menu and go to the "Set Permissions" option in the

+                There are many ways to instead target different storage for your job. This can be select in the tool or
