Export Javascript Charts to File

This has been logged as an enhancement, though due to the complexity of implementing such a feature it has yet to be planned.

This may better be served as a problem ticket rather than an idea ticket. This Javascript chart export problem can make the chart feature useless for some customers. You can print to printer and then use the printer's driver to convert to PDF, but the issue with that is it will print only the chart part that is inside the embedded Javascript chart window. If the chart has more rows than what is shown without scrolling the window, it will not print what is hidden. This is a serious limitation. I hope Yellowfin escalates this as a high priority fix.

Hi Paul,

We classify a problem as something that was expected to work (from a code point of view) , and doesn't.

An idea is something that we know has not been implemented, so it's a feature request.

I can understand why it would seem like a defect/problem, though I can assure you it is an enhancement.

In saying this, none of if detracts from the importance of allowing it to be exported. Just not something that can be planned as yet. Sorry for the bad news.

Regards,

David

Ok, no problem David. Thanks. Can you find out if there's a way to configure the chart window height so we can use the printer driver save to PDF as a good option for charts with a number of rows?

Our clients want several javascript plots and they would like to be able to export them at least as pdf, I would not like to tell them to do screen captures.

Thanks

Hi all,

is there anything new on this issue?

Best wishes,

Good day Support

Hope you are well.

Any timeline as to when the exporting of JS charts will work with Excel?

Kind regards,

Hello,

Dashboard JS charts are working in Excel exports as of 9.12-

Added functionality to allow a Dashboard to be exported to XLS including support for broadcasting to XLS. Each report on chart on the dashboard is exported as a separate tab in the XLS file. 

Are you able to test exporting in version 9.12 or higher? If this is still not working, please provide specific chart / export parameters in a new private ticket if you could please.

Thanks,

Eric

Good morning Eric,

Hope you are well.

Sure I will create a new ticket.

Kind regards,

Mikayla

Hi Mikayla,

Thanks for the reply, with this Idea attached to a Completed task, a new ticket is better for organizational purposes on our side, thanks for understanding. As such I'll go ahead and close mark this idea as Completed at this Time.

Thanks,

Eric
