Dashboard questions

1. Does anyone know if Dashboards will get the same ability as reports to email dashboards to people like we can do with reports? 2. I have a Dashboard that is to be run at the Project Level (added as a custom tab). I'd like to export or print the dashboard, but I don't see the ability to print it like you can if you run it as a dashboard. The issue is, this dashboard has many reports on it, which would mean I'd have to go to every report and copy them, add a filter for that specific Project and then create a new dashboard for it. Is there a simpler way? Thanks. Greg

I'm not aware of any Workfront plans to allow export of the dashboard. If you are using Chrome, I suggest using a Chrome extension called "Capture Webpage Screenshot Entirely. FireShot" that would allow you to save the dashboard as pdf.

I believe this topic came up in our User Group discussion in Dallas/Ft. Worth yesterday. The desire to share dashboards is something that the dev team is aware of and I believe they're working towards this feature. -Nate Bagley --- Workfront Community Manager - Work Smart, Work Happy Message me directly at:

Thanks for the update Nate! I'm assuming by "share" dashboards, you're referring to "emailing" dashboards.

Hi Greg, For you (and others) who might consider an outside the box solution if it saved you enough time in report and dashboard maintenance, I invite you to learn about our "https://www.atappstore.com/Docs/uberfilter/UberFilterSummary.png">UberFilter solution, which lets you choose a filter at the top of a dashboard and have it "ripple through" all of the reports on that dashboard. This way, you build each report once, then add as many filters as needed -- even ones folks might build themselves -- but keep only ONE version of the report. That makes it MUCH less daunting to then add a column, change a sort, modify a chart, etc. when the time comes: rather than hunting down and repeating the same change(s) in dozens of reports, you simple change one, and done.

If it is not too late, we print the dashboard but instead of printing it converts to a PDF and includes the colored charts..that may be an option.
