Arcadia Enterprise enables you to save a screenshot of a visual as a
.png
file. The filename is the same as the name of the dashboard, and has a
timestamp specifying the date and time when the file is created.
We recommend this method rather than using a desktop tool, because it handles visuals that are very long or very wide, and do not fit on the screen.
The following steps demonstrate how to save a visual as a *.png
file.
In Visual Designer's Edit mode, when editing a visual, click the (ellipsis) icon at the top of the interface, and then click Download as..., and select Image (png) from the secondary menu.
Alternatively, when editing the visual,
A Generating the requested file message appears.
After the download is complete, open the default download folder on your computer.
Arcadia Enterprisesaves the current sheet to a *.png
file.
In our example, the generated filename, Table_Visual_20190207105500
, has
the following components:
Same name as the dashboard
Signifies the date the file is created, in YYYYMMDD
format
Signifies the time the file is created, in hhmmss
format
Note that Arcadia Enterprise renames sheets with names that contain characters not
supported by the file system. For example, for the sheet Table/Visual, it generates
the file as Table_Visual_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.png
, replacing the forward-slash
(ASCII #47) character with an underscore (ASCII #95) character.
