Printing from a Dashboard with widgets that scroll

Cheryl Crouse

I have data on a dashboard that fluctuates daily on the number of items in the view. Therefore, on the dashboard display, sometimes the reports scroll up and down. we have a requirement to PDF print the dashboard daily, but with the scrolling data, I can't see all of the items that were discussed. Is there a way to print to PDF and see all the data without having to resize the widget/dashboard every day?

Hi Cheryl,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a possible workaround, you could make a copy of the dashboard with everything expanded as needed for the print to work.

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

That's what we are having to do today, but it's a pain in the neck.  Resizing 6 widgets every day for a daily report and again for a weekly report is a lot to ask of our very busy PMs.  And we have some data scrolling left and right as well, but we can't expand the grid to make it any wider...

Thank you for your quick response.  I will definitely submit an enhancement request.

Happy to help!

Could you maybe structure the copy differently? Instead of one report, it could be broken out in two, so it would fit in the dashboard and so on?

Not the best solution, but it might simplify the printing process.

What do you think?
