Exporting a Dashboard for Viewing |
Users can export an image of an entire dashboard, or export data from a particular dashboard component. To export a copy of the dashboard into Excel, PowerPoint or PDF format:
The Snapshot option produces a portable version of the dashboard that incorporates an embedded (static) copy of the underlying data. This “snapshot” dashboard can be loaded into another server installation using an incremental deployment or into InetSoft products such as Style Scope Free Edition (http://www.dashboardfree.com).
Note: An anonymous user cannot save to the repository, and a Snapshot cannot be saved to the repository.
When users export a dashboard to the repository, the dashboard will appear (with a different icon) within the repository menu; however is not supplied with live data. Rather, the exported dashboard will exist as an “archive,” reflecting the state of the data at the time that the export was made.
