Export
The Export component enables users to export dashboards into multiple formats for sharing, reporting, and offline analysis. Supported export formats include PDF, PPT, Excel, PNG, and Print.
It supports advanced configurations for PDF output, such as type (tabular or screenshot), table formatting (striped, grid, plain), orientation, page layout, and style customization for headings and sub-headings.
Best Situations to Use
Use the Export component when you want to:
Share dashboards with stakeholders who require offline access.
Generate formal reports in PDF or PPT formats for presentations.
Export tabular data into Excel for further analysis.
Save dashboards as PNG images for embedding into documents.
Print dashboards directly for distribution.
Not Recommended for:
Dashboards that require real-time interactivity (exports capture static snapshots).
Large datasets where Excel or PDF rendering may affect performance.
