Exporting dashboards
Export your dashboard as PDF, PNG, Excel, or CSV - including all current filters and date settings.
You can export a snapshot of your dashboard to share with stakeholders who don't have Genuics access, include in a presentation, or archive for compliance.
Export a dashboard
- Open the dashboard you want to export.
- Click the Export button in the toolbar.
- In the Export modal, choose a format: PDF, PNG, Excel, or CSV.
- Configure any format-specific options (see below).
- Click Export. The file downloads to your computer.
Export formats
Exports your dashboard as a multi-page PDF document. Each widget renders as a chart image with its title, and the overall dashboard layout is preserved.
Options:
- Portrait - taller pages, good for dashboards with widgets stacked vertically.
- Landscape - wider pages, good for dashboards with widgets arranged in rows. This is the default and works best for most dashboard layouts.
Best for: Email attachments, printing, slide decks, and compliance archives. PDFs are self-contained and look the same on every device.
PNG
Exports the entire dashboard as a single image file. All widgets, titles, and visible filters are captured as-is.
Options:
- Standard quality (0.75 scale) - smaller file size, good enough for Slack messages, internal wikis, and quick shares.
- High quality (0.85 scale) - larger file, sharper rendering. Better for presentations and documents where the image will be displayed at full size.
Best for: Pasting into Slack, Notion, Google Docs, or any tool that accepts images. PNGs are easy to share and require no special software to open.
Excel
Exports the underlying data from each widget as a structured spreadsheet. Each widget gets its own sheet within the Excel file, named after the widget title.
Best for: Stakeholders who want to manipulate the numbers - pivot tables, custom calculations, or importing into their own tools. Excel exports include the raw aggregated data, not the chart images.
CSV
Exports the data as a plain comma-separated file. If your dashboard has multiple widgets, each widget's data is exported as a separate CSV file bundled in a ZIP archive.
Best for: Programmatic processing, importing into other systems, or archiving raw data. CSV is the most universal format - every tool can read it.
What gets exported
Exports capture exactly what you see on screen:
- Current filters - if you've filtered to "Region = APAC", the export only includes APAC data.
- Current date range - the exported data reflects whatever date range is active in the toolbar.
- Current page - if your dashboard has multiple pages, only the active page is exported.
- Click-to-filter selections - any active click-to-filter chips are applied to the export.
Exporting individual widgets
You don't have to export the whole dashboard. To export a single widget:
- Hover over the widget you want to export.
- Click the more menu (three dots) in the widget header.
- Select Export and choose your format.
This is useful when you only need one chart for a report or presentation.

| Board deck or investor presentation | PNG (high quality) |
