Download entire dashboard to PDF and get SEPARATE PDFs for each view

Jan Paulsen Oct 26, 2017 9:18 AM

Hello Community,

I have a dashboard consisting of 30 views, one for each country. I need to create a separate PDF for each view/country. Of course, I could go to each view and download it seperately. But it would be much nicer if I did not have to repeat this 30 times. When downloading the entire dashboard a single PDF with 30 pages will be created, which is not what I need. Is there a way to create with one click 30 PDF pages, one for each view? PNG/Images are also acceptable as output.

Thanks a lot in advance

Jan

If you have Tableau server, you can set up subscriptions that would email the dashboard out as an image.

Similarly with Server, you can write a script with tabcmd that exports a particular view to PDF (and you could do that for all 30 views).

Unfortunately, there's no "out of the box" functionality to burst reports to files. Tableau is really focused on online interaction, so they haven't made this functionality a priority.
