[New Feature] Save Time by Converting Dashboards to Reports

Written by Eric Dosal | March 2, 2017

Sometimes a dashboard just won’t do!

Our customers spend a lot of time building out dashboards and customizing it to get the data they need exactly the way they want it. If you’re like me, I love using our dashboards for viewing my data because they are up around the office which makes it easy to see, plus they are updating in real time. However, every once in awhile I want to send a dashboard to someone who doesn’t have a log in or doesn’t want to have to log in.

 

This happened recently with our Board of Directors when we set up a new dashboard for them to monitor how BrightGauge is doing. We noticed they might go a few days or even a week without logging in. Now we can take that dashboard and simply convert it from a dashboard to a report with 1 click of a button.

This saves all the time of having to build a report from scratch! All you have to do is click the “More” drop down menu on a dashboard and you will see the option to “Convert to Report”.

Here is a quick overview of the process to convert a dashboard to report in just seconds:
