The following topics describe the printing/exporting capabilities depending on the control used:
Printing/Exporting Specifics
- If a user prints/exports an entire dashboard, the current state is preserved: the dashboard layout, a scroll position of individual dashboard items, and selections within master filter items).
- When an individual dashboard item is printed, the entire item’s content is reflected in the printed document regardless of the item’s current state (a scroll position, selection and so on).
- The DevExpress Dashboard does not print/export the dashboard/dashboard items in an exact WYSIWYG way. For instance, dashboard items have no borders on the printed document, font settings and skin/theme colors can differ.
