Print out of full dashboard layout

It would be very helpful to be able to print out the whole dashboard view/layout in AGOL and/or ArcGIS portal, i.e. map together with the widget information, not only the map.#agol #arcgisportal #print #dashboard #layout

Dashboard is the only app interface/template that provides much in terms of letting users filter by choosing from checkboxes, so we have dashboards that serve as general viewers (for example, a Park Finder that lets users filter by activity type). Users would like to be able to print the map view.

Would be super beneficial if the Operational Dashboard could have a print Widget. You could specify which dashboard features to include in the print. Currently, we have to take screen shots and use the snipping tool to obtain prints.

Printing the entire Operational Dashboard or individual widgets would be a huge advantage. To create Board of Director reports, the users have to take screen shots - not an impressive solution.

Hello

Did anyone figure out any way to print the whole dashboard page to use in reports?

We are finding great value in the dashboards we've created, however, the most requested enhancement from our users is to be able to 1) print and 2) export selected data (.csv and .shp). Please consider adding these functionality to Operations Dashboard. Otherwise, we will have to explore recreating our app functionality with Web AppBuilder and/or custom JavaScript, both of which require much more investment in time and skills which are not options at the moment.

If anyone has come up with a work around, please share.

Thank you.

Waiting for this one as well, for now, I've created a little menu item in the Burger icon to "Ctrl-P"

Hi Nathan,

how did you do that ? I can only insert a link under the "sign out"

Heya Nathan

Did you add a "window.print()" variation as a link to do this?

We are running into two situations that this would solve. The first is when users are using the dashboard to explore the data in different areas and want a way to refer back to or store the information at each location or for each selection as they progress, and the second is when the dashboard is being used as part of a decision point and the rational for the decision needs to be documented. Having to use a screen capture is a less than optimal solution.

Has a print, or export to PDF, feature been added yet? This would be so helpful.

This issues open since 21/6/2018

It's about time to add this widget to operation dashboard!

@NathanEnge - can you advise me on how you constructed the URL for the menu link to Ctrl-P in Dashboards? I realize you posted your response almost 2-years ago, but I'm hoping you remember! Thank you!

Dashboards definitely needs a print function. Would be so helpful in reporting. Does anyone know of ways around this issue. Something the user could click on rather then having to copy and paste or screen shot?

Re: Print out of full dashboard layout

@cpenling - Based on a post by @NathanEnge , he configured a solution under 'Menu Links' (the below screenshot is from my dashboard) where the user could click the link and be directed to a Ctrl-P function. Unfortunately, he did not post how he did his URL. Any ideas?

Hi,
That functionality was removed a while ago. With the updated ArcGIS Dashboards, and Dashboards Classics being deprecated, there really should be a print function. I've upvoted the Idea.

I appreciate your response! Hopefully we do not have to wait another two years for a print function!

This has now become the #1 request at my office. Come on Esri, give us a print Dashboard option!

Re: Print out of full dashboard layout

YES, it is available in Web Appbuilder, shouldn't be too hard for ESRI to add this functionality to the dashboard. Our customers are demanding this and we can not offer a professional solution!
