Last November a very useful add-on for\u00a0SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards was announced by Data Savvy Tools: Xcelsius Dashboard Printer<\/strong>. This add-on component replaces the standard Print button component<\/strong> which only has one very basic functionality: Printing the whole dashboard as you see it. The Xcelsius Dashboard Printer add-on component lets you select a portion of the dashboard, queue up multiple snapshots before printing, format the output and add annotations.<\/p>\n

Since my post on this component some nice improvements have been added to the initial version of the add-on, like for example the annotations. On top of that the upcoming 2.5 version now adds features like capture to clipboard<\/strong>, configuring different output formats<\/strong> for each snapshot and keyboard shortcuts<\/strong>. Unfortunately the capture to clipboard option only works with Internet Explorer 7+; other browsers will show the screenshot in a new window so you can copy it from there.<\/p>\n

In the demo dashboard below you can try the component for yourself and compare it to the limited Print button component. More info at DataSavvyTools.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
