Export Dashboard Pages #172

Open mattmcnabb opened 6 years ago

mattmcnabb commented 6 years ago

I think it would be great if we could export our dashboard pages as PDF or HTML documents, or even just images. This would be a great lightweight reporting tool.

Are you looking for a cmdlet to do this? Or is functionality in the UI enough? It's tricky from the command line since hte browser does all the rendering but I'm sure I could figure something out.

Well, I was thinking about the same question and didn't have a solid answer yet. I think it would be nice to support an export button in a dashboard page, but it could also be really useful to have an export option in script. This could act as a lightweight reporting toolkit.

I think maybe usage would be something like:

$Dashboard = New-UDDashboard -Content {...}
Export-UDDashboard -Dashboard $Dashboard -Format html

Alternatively, maybe it could be supported by piping from Get-UDDashboard to get around the rendering issue:

Start-UDDashboard $Dashboard
Get-UDDashboard | Export-UDDashboard -format html

Or you could have the exported content be able to be pulled into something else, such as an Excel spreadsheet of other tool. Reporting services, maybe?
