Hi All,

I know we could download the saved search as csv file, which is an excellent feature.But I would like to add this saved search in dashboard, and I want to download the csv file instead of pdf format.By default I could see only generate pdf in dashboard of reporting feature.Is it possible to have both generate pdf and generate csv.

Please anyone let e know to fix this issue .

Thanks,  
Raj

Sorry, but since the dashboard can contain a mixture of visualizations and saved searches the reporting integration limits them to PDF. You can link to the saved search in discover from the panel on the dashboard though, then you'd have the option to export the CSV.

When you're editting your dashboard, click the little gear icon in the top right corner and click "Edit Visualization"
