Exporting a Dashboard to PDF

Exporting a Dashboard to PDF

A dashboard is a collection of visual representations in charts of data available within your account.
It provides an overview of the current situation in the greenhouse and enables users to quickly identify trends and anomalies.
Thanks to interactive elements such as charts, meters, and maps, dashboards are a powerful tool for monitoring and decision-making.

To share insights with colleagues, customers, or for archiving purposes, it is possible to export a dashboard to PDF.
This ensures that the visual information is available outside the platform, for example for reports or presentations.
The export function is easy to use and provides a fixed snapshot of the dashboard at the time of export.

Common Uses of PDF Export

Exporting dashboards to PDF is especially useful in situations where information needs to be shared outside the digital platform.
Examples include preparing reports for customers, creating presentations for internal meetings, or archiving crop data for future analysis.
A PDF file provides a fixed snapshot of the dashboard, making it suitable for documentation and communication with stakeholders who do not have access to the dashboard itself.

However, there are limitations to exporting dashboards as PDF.
Sending the dashboard via a notification offers more flexibility and options.
