Zoho Reports: Email your Business Dashboards as PDF

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Arvind

Creating business dashboards have always been easy with Zoho Reports. Dashboards thus created can be shared and accessed from web URLs. But you may have clients (or colleagues) who would like to view the dashboards as PDF files. Now, how nice would it be if your dashboards were to be emailed as beautifully formatted PDFs with your own company’s logo?

Till recently, it was possible only for individual reports to be exported/mailed as PDF. Now, dashboards can be exported/emailed as PDF too.

You can even schedule the dashboard PDF files to be emailed at regular intervals using the scheduled emailing of reports feature.

New in Zoho Reports: Dashboards Resizing and More Chart Sorting Options

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Arvind

The latest update to Zoho Reports brought in two nifty features. Let’s look at them in detail.

Dashboards Resizing

A dashboard in Zoho Reports is created by dragging and dropping multiple reports on a single page. Till now, we had one/two column layout options with fixed width & height. We have brought in greater flexibility to the layout now. You can now resize each of the embedded reports within a dashboard. This makes your dashboard look prettier, allotting more space for longer/wider reports, avoiding unnecessary blank spaces where you need to have shorter/smaller reports etc.

Resizing the reports is easy. Go to the Edit Design mode, hover your mouse over the report’s borders that need to be resized and drag as needed.

Charts – More Sorting Options

We have added two more sorting options in Charts, important ones at that.…
