Able to export Dashboards in pdf

It would be ever so useful if we were able to export whole dashboard in pdf. At the moment we are able to export single reports which makes our work harder. And we need to play about to get it in pdf through printing options.

It would be so useful feature.

It's been nearly two years since my post above. 

 

When will the ability to export dashboards as they are displayed on the web page be added as a native feature to Workfront?

I get the same results and I am unable to make use of this much needed feature

There are two ways that folks above and elsewhere claim you can use to export a dashboard for external distribution, each of which has problems. Chrome extensions like GoFullPage work inconsistently for me and my team as workarounds--sometimes it captures the full webpage, other times it only captures the visible screen.

 

Beyond screenshotting the report manually, there is no way to export a dashboard. For a company like Adobe that presents this as a premiere project management tool, this is extremely disappointing and frustrating. I should not have to jump through hoops to create a shareable status report for my clients.

 

When will the ability to export dashboards as they are displayed on the web page be added as a native feature to Workfront?

 

Example workaround attempts:

  • Dashboard Actions > Print: This shoves the entire dashboard to the left side of the screen, cutting off the content of the reports horizontally.
    • Adjusting scaling or layout does not change the cutoff of the content.
    • Long reports that span over a page break get split in the middle of a row, reducing the legibility of the dashboard.
  • CTRL+P in Chrome:
    • The dashboard won't even display for printing; see below.

Wasn't the 20.3 release like a year ago? I'm not seeing this option on our dashboards. When will this be released?

Hi Team,


I am wondering whether the implementation plan for this idea includes the ability to also export dashboards which are attached to objects like portfolios or projects.


Thank you,

Marvin

We have been using a workaround for the last few years for both Classic and the New Experience. We have a 'project status' dashboard with a series of reports. And also have a 'Summary status' report that gets sent out every Friday afternoon. That report contains a column with an external link to the 'project status' dashboard.

Not a complete fix but it works for us.

Any more specific timeline? Support made it sound like this might not come until 2022.


We managed to make this work in Classic via print-to-PDF, but is utterly broken in NWE.

At this moment, i did not see if either. A little simple advice that you may be doing (I honestly just didn't think of it at first), just do a print to PDF...I was able to get it to fit properly and print to a PDF, and it looked just like an exported report. I cried a little after I realized I forgot about this

Any update on this? I also didn't notice this feature in 20.3 now that's now live.
