I set up a custom watcher to send me an email of a pdf of a dashboard every x minutes. I had it set to 5 minutes and the pdf would send correctly a couple times and then would be blank, then would be fine again. I'm assuming this is just due to the time it takes to render the dashboard and send it to the pdf, is there a setting I can fix that would force the watcher to wait for the full data? ---
