Screenshot 6 charts

[desmond_lee]

Hi There

Is there a way to screen shot like I did in below all 6 charts and send them out in a enmail every week Saturday at 23:00:00

[Suvrutt_Gurjar · Accepted solution]

Please create a scheduled bot to send the email.

Please use SNAPSHOT() function to include the 6 charts in the email.

In the email template, please include the chart dashboard name as follows in the SNAPSHOT() function.

<<SNAPSHOT(LINKTOVIEW("QUA005"))>>

SNAPSHOT() - AppSheet Help

The example below shows: 

The charts dashboard view in the app

The name of the dashboard view is "Charts Dashboard"

The image  below shows the template that includes the SNAPSHOT() function.

The image below shows the email sent by the bot

I finally got it setup but how do I increase the width of the text and the picture size? I try the template margin, the appsheet margin all does not work

[Suvrutt_Gurjar]

I believe it may not be possible to control the width of the image coming out of a SNAPSHOT() function.

As a workaround, I would create a SNAPSHOT() function of each individual chart in the dashboard. This is so because the dashboard is anyway made of several individual chart views.

So my email template would have multiple snapshot functions , such as below ( one for each individual chart.)

<<SNAPSHOT(LINKTOVIEW("Chart 1"))>>

<<SNAPSHOT(LINKTOVIEW("Chart 2"))>>

and so on.

So the email could look like below. Each individual chart below the other.

Note: It is possible that the bot may fail with as many as six individual SNAPSHOT() functions.  To overcome this, I would create a combination of charts -say 2 or 3 in a dashboard and then use SNAPSHOT() for only two dashboards -each containing three views. These dashboards should be reference views , created only for bot purpose.

Issue resolved by appsheet supprot team

[Suvrutt_Gurjar]

Great. Than you for the update. As thought, the issue was not with configuration that an app creator can do.

Hello, I am currently having the same problem with automatic email generation, could I please know how you managed to display the chart images in the email body instead of the link. Even when I use this: <img src="&lt;&lt;SNAPSHOT(LINKTOVIEW(&quot;Global Status&quot;))&gt;&gt;"/>     The image is not displayed. 

Thanks in advance.
