Export a query result to csv from a Dashboard?

AmyS Jan 11, 2015 10:41 AM

We are currently on version 7.7.3 and have found that we only have the export to .csv option when a query is not on a dashboard.

We would expect to have this option on query links as well as query gadgets that are on a dashboard but this is not the case. Our only workaround currently is to create a separate query link for every query that a user / analyst may need to export.

Has anyone else come across this issue or found a way around this?

Screen shots are below to illustrate:

1 - Regular Query Link. Export to CVS option is available:

2 - Query Gadget on Dashboard. Export to CVS option is NOT available:

If you report this to your local support team, I expect they will ask you to raise an enhancement request

This is expected behavior. An enhancement request could be raised. What I used to do for situations like these was to display the queries on the dashboard for whatever support group/department the dashboard was for, but also put a gadget of links to those queries. That way if one of the analysts wanted to export that data to .csv, they'd have the link to that query available on the right hand side in a smaller gadget. I'm not sure if this will help you guys or not...its just how I worked around it.

We were suprised to find that the dashboard query functionality was not consistent with standalone query functionality. While adding the individual queries from the dashboards as standalone query objects or even a link of them would be a workaround it adds confusion for folks as well as adds a lot of additional objects to the interface.

I found 2 Enhancement requests for this. Please vote it up!
