Real-world Problem: Emergency Managers like to see "live" data in an Operations Dashboard, yet they are required to put static pdf maps into daily reports. In some cases, this is a legal documentation requirement. GIS Specialists spend an inordinate amount of time every day creating and maintaining "paper" maps for export that are separate from the real-time dashboards that Emergency Managers rely on for real-time information.

Audience: GIS Specialists, Plans Team Managers, Incident Command, Emergency Managers.

Technical Problem: Operations Dashboard does not include an automated export feature.

Solution: A snapshot widget that is built into Operations Dashboard would be useful to allow a .pdf, .jpg, or .png export of the dashboard at a user-defined time interval. When it is time to create their daily report, personnel can grab the export and put it into their report.

Hello,
It's been almost a year since the post had opened and I was wondering if there is any ETC for adding the print function to dashboards?

I am surprised this is not a current capability.  Please add it!

Hello esri ,

we need the export option. It is very important! Export to PDF, CSV, Excel, Shape,. Shouldn't be that difficult. I work for the energy company and use dashboard to report on energy consumption. I cannot explain to my bosses that I have such a great dashboard, but that a simple export function is not available.

Agreed, this discussion has come up historically and considering current events and capabilities this would be an excellent resource. I can think of a number of applications I currently am working on where this would be of huge significance for our teams.

This is absolutely necessary for full use of Operations Dashboard. While the interactive dashboards are useful, it is required to capture static versions of the data for reports. Operations Dashboard provides the best interface for presenting key data and for drilling down into the data, but this information needs to be able to be exported out of the Dashboard for reports. Having to direct users who are not GIS users to multiple applications or view layers to download data is confusing, frustrating, and difficult to maintain. This is a key feature and needs to be prioritized.

Yes, printing a dashboard would be great, my users ask for it regularly

Couldn't agree more.

This would be really helpful to implement "Export to Excel in Operations Dashboard" , a quick an easy win to analyze the data based on the user search criteria that ties up back to the Dashboard Filters.

this almost seems like a no brainer
