Ability to export a custom dashboard to PDF

Need the ability to export a custom dashboard from report builder to PDF, instead of just Excel. We want the ability to share these dashboards with people who do not have access to RE NXT.

    I concur with adding this as a PDF export at the very least. I am stunned it is still not available as a simple export. There is no logic in this shortsightedness and it leaves me wondering why we pay for an add-on with limited functionality.

    The lack of PDF exporting of custom dashboards is severely limiting our ability to use NXT for reporting for our leadership, some of whom are less tech savvy and will not look at an 'active' NXT dashboard. As you can already export pre-built dashboards to PDFs it should not be time consuming to add this to custom-built ones.

    Dashboards are a usefully way to show staff and leadership information they need to pay attention to, but they don't build checking them into their schedules. The ability to email custom dashboards, especially if given the same functionality as the built-in dashboards, would be an important step forward in making data useful for planning purposes.

    Please, please add this!! Custom dashboards are useless if I cannot share them with leadership in the format they want. I understand they are meant to be dynamic and viewed online, but no executive or board member wants to do this, they NEED a printout. Please allow us to print them!

    This is so necessary! Other CRMs have this capability with their Analytics.

    This is long overdue! Please see Whitney Sparks' comments about correct formatting and images, etc not being split over two pages - that would help a lot! Thank you

    Disappointing that developers don;t seem to think things through full circle, this is an excellent example. And when the PDF is able to get exported, it needs to be formatted correctly, so graphic (a single graph, chart or other visualization) is not split in half between two pages.

    this is a must have. This is why I don't use it.

    I was shocked when I realized this was not already a feature! This absolutely needs to be added! Right now, I have to do screenshots when our President wants to share a dashboard. Please add this feature!

    Or the ability to email it to executives, volunteers, etc.

    You can output built-in reports such as Overview, Campaign, Fund, etc. as printable pdfs. Why not custom dashboards?

    It feels so limiting to not have this. Our governing board does not have access to RE, nor would it make sense for them to, so having a snapshot of our monthly dashboards is crucial! With this being a service customers are paying extra for, it should already be available to us - just like the canned dashboards. BB, please fix this!

    Rene, although I agree that they aren't meant to be static, sometimes it is useful to share a snapshot to the head of our department where we stand. We have a weekly report that shows gifts, actions, etc for the past week, and right now I am screenshotting it so she has that quick snapshot in her email and doesn't have to follow the link and login, to see it quickly.

    I love the Dashboards, but the beauty of them is that they are dynamic & so really aren’t meant to be static. For those who are finding they want a static report to share, have you tried using the ability to share a link with folks who aren’t RE users?

    We are switching to custom dashboards from Crystal reports, and the ability to export the dashboards as a PDF to email to executive team members, deans, development officers, and the University President is crucial.

    This is really needed at our organization and it sounds like others!
