Emailing a Dashboard

You can email a dashboard as an attachment in PDF, PNG, and HTML formats. You can also subscribe to emails that contain the dashboard report at every dashboard refresh for scheduled dashboards.

Note

Subscribing to emails that contain the dashboard report at every dashboard refresh is not enabled for all users by default. Create a ticket with Qubole Support to enable this feature on the QDS account.

Note

To email a dashboard, you must have the create permission to the Commands resource as described in Resources, Actions, and What they Mean.

2. Select Email as attachment.

3. In the Email Dashboard dialog box, select the required format from the drop-down list. By default, PDF is selected.

If a dashboard fails to render within 3 minutes, then the email option fails.

You can also email dashboards as attachments by using the command API. See Submit a Notebook Convert Command.
