Dynamic Report Lengths on Dashboards
Not Planned
Hi,
When exporting a Dashboard to PDF, we would like the ability for Reports in the form of tables that may have dynamic lengths to be fully exported. Currently, the size of tables on a Dashboard is static, and if a table overflows, the resulting exported PDF cuts off that Report. We would like to request the addition of some kind of dynamically sized viewport for Reports on a canvas.
I like this idea

Hi Mpho,

I have since had some updates from the wider team, of which feedback on this has been explained in more detail with where we stand below.
From what we can see it is not possible. Dashboards (in particular canvas) have specific layouts, and the reports on those dashboards have fixed sizes and incorporate scroll bars when the amount of data exceeds the available space. When exporting these, we cannot build logic that can dynamically calculate the size of the object once exported, and then reorganise the remainder of the the objects on the dashboard in any sensible way.
In addition to this, we have to remember that; dashboards can also contain other objects, images, text, buttons and objects in a Canvas can also be layered.
What next?
As explained this is not something that is possible, however we do have an alternative option that may be of interest. Please see this Idea ticket.
With this request, it essentially reinstates the Version 8 style Dashboard export - which loops through each report on the dashboard, and exports them one by one, combining the output into a single pdf. Obviously the dashboard layout itself is lost, but the recipient gets all the data from each report.
I hope this helps Mpho.
