Share charts & views

[tmfrnz]

Job story

When I want to share the data portal, a specific view or chart

... I want to be able to do so with as little effort as possible and with relevant information

... so that my social media contacts can easily enjoy the data portal

Additional considerations

• Currently not all views have unique URLs (eg right or country highlighted)
• Include sharing options for
  • portal
  • individual charts
• Currently only allows downloading of charts without hints or instructions for sharing

Technical options

There are several options to share a specific view with a custom preview image, including

1. download an image of the chart, upload it to social media portal and share it with the unique URL (not very user-friendly, requires instructions)
2. take a screenshot of the view, upload it to social media portal and share it with the unique URL (even less user-friendly)
3. automatically store a unique preview image on a dedicated print server that returns a unique URL that can be shared on social media, automatically showing the image (a lot of effort)
