Insert dashboard

You can insert complete dashboards into your reports. Depending on the mode you select, you can insert a dashboard in its original layout, or as individual elements for each widget.

1. On Avelon Cloud, navigate to the desired dashboard. Enable edit mode by clicking on Edit Dashboards at the top right.

2. Click on More and then select Download.

3. In the dialog window that appears, click the button Copy Link to Clipboard on the right side next to the desired layout.

   Dashboard Layout

   The individual widgets are arranged in the same way as they are on the dashboard, and the resulting image is scaled to fit the width of the gray bounding box in your report template.

   Vertical Layout

   The individual widgets are arranged in a single column, and the resulting image is scaled to fit the width of the gray bounding box in your report template.

   

4. Close the dialog window and switch to your template file in Microsoft Office and there go to the Avelon Reporting tab.

5. Click Dashboard in the ribbon.

   

6. In the dialog that appears, paste the URL you just copied from the clipboard into the Source field and confirm the dialog with OK.

   

7. A group is now automatically inserted into your template, which is then filled with the corresponding dashboard when the report is generated.

8. If necessary, change the size of the gray rectangle, because the dashboard (or the widgets) automatically adjusts to the height of this placeholder.
