Adding infographics to Reports, printing as PDF

Question

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the infographics as a PDF? Also is it possible to add the infographics to a custom report? At the UC 2016 it made it seem that those updates were coming but if they are part of the newest release i can't seem to find them.

Thanks,

Hi Melissa,

Thank you for sharing your desired result. With the upcoming release in a few weeks, you will see several improvements that will help you create even better custom infographics including options of using rich text formatting, site attributes, more pictures etc. which will certainly help you getting closer to the desired result you shared.

You can already insert a table that will show data for a single trade area however the ability to add a table that compares data for various trade areas (1 mile, 3 mile, 5 miles etc) within one infographic is something we have on this year's roadmap.

I am sorry to hear that you had to struggle with getting the title changed for a custom infographic panel. That was a bug which you will see fixed with the upcoming release in a few weeks.

Please let me know if you have any other feedback. We love to hear from power users like you and appreciate all the feedback.

Thanks,

Praveen

As an example of an output I am trying to accomplish here is a picture from a road ahead session again from the previous conference :

Being able to mix text, infographics, maps and tables into a dynamic sheet would allow a much easier workflow for printed materials that I currently have to cut and paste into a word doc from excel, maps jpegs or clips and word doc text.

Are the new releases planning on including these capabilities?

Also on the subject of infographics I cannot for the life of me get the title to change on custom infographics- trying to highlight the text to change it seems near impossible and saving it with a title does not change the title on the actual info graphic. I have tried repeatedly and was able to get it once out of probably 75-100 tries to actually select the word “title” and change it something else.

Any tips on that?

Thanks for sharing the snapshot from the UC presentation. I remember that was presented in the roadmap section. We did add a workflow to build infographics but couldn't get the Create PDF option in the last release. We have actually been working on the Create PDF option and are planning to add it in a future release.

Using the custom infographics workflow, you can add logos, infographic panels, text, data tables, charts, images, and maps to create a summary of your analysis results that can be shared with others. Is there a particular output you are trying to accomplish by merging custom reports and infographics? I will be happy to talk to you, understand your needs, and show you how you can effectively use the build infographics workflow.

Thank You,

Praveen
