Broadcasting allows you to send a report or dashboard to one or more users via email, based on a defined schedule and set of rules. A personal broadcast works the same way, except it can only be sent to the person who defined the broadcast.

A number of options exist for broadcasting a Dashboard.

The entire Dashboard Dashboards can be broadcast exported as a link or as a PDF attachmentPDF as per how it appears in the Browser.

Alternatively, each Report or Chart contained within a Dashboard can be Broadcast and combined into a single file. This type of broadcast supports PDF and XLS formats. With PDF, each report is exported separately and combined together in a single PDF document. With XLS, each report or chart is added to a separate tab within the XLS file.

Reports can be broadcast as HTML, CSV, DOCX, PDF, TXT, XLSX or as a link to the report, depending on the content within.
