Print multiple dashboards using a button

[pauldj54]

Hi:

I'm trying to figure out how to print multiple dashboards using a button, or a link, or other UI component.


The idea is to print o convert all dashboards in a single document. I'm thinking in a xaction but I'm a little bit lost about how to accomplish this task.


Any comment will be appreciated

Kind Regards

Build a prpt for that dashboard and then call it. No better answers currently

see haza's blog on ambientbi - he walks through how to do this. It's not as cumbersome as it sounds...

Hi, thanks for your answers.

I checked the AmbientBI blog and found the post. It is extremely useful but I realised that CGG is not in the current version of CDE that can be downloaded from the Webdatails site. I ran the installer from github, v1.8 and the CGG is now installed.

One of the first steps is open up an existing CDE dashboard in Edit mode and press the keys “Shift + g” to enable a popup that lets you choose what charts in the dashboard you want to render as CGG charts.

My current problem is the command "Shift g" doesn't work.

What can be happening?

Kind regards

Hi:

I found the problem. I'm running Pentaho in an AWS linux that comes with the Open JDK, some functionalities in Pentaho require the Sun JDK, at least according to my experience. I had the same problem some time ago with the protovis component. I want to remark that the JDK 1.6 is the version that works for me, I had troubles with the version 1.7.

Kind Regards:

Hi:


I followed the ambientbi blog post and now I'm able to export the charts in my dashboards to a report as images (using the report designer).
Now I want these images listen to a parameter from a dropdown list in the report.
I've created a parameter and a dropdown list to select its value.
I know from the post that I can send parameters using the source url as: paramMY_PARAM_NAME=PARAM_VALUE
The only issue left is to connect the parameter from the dropdown list with the parameter of the url of the images.
Any ideas to accomplish this task? I think with a simple javascript could be done but I can't figure out how.
Any help will be appreciated.
