Export dashboards and reports as PDF

DataLion exports your results as PDF – from a single chart to a multi-page report, always in the corporate design stored for your project.

Three levels, one export

You decide what goes into the PDF:

  • a single chart – for a short email to management, for example,
  • a complete dashboard as a snapshot,
  • a multi-page report with title, description and footer for handing over a study.

One page per tab

How a tab is laid out on paper is set per project under Admin → Projects → Exports in the field PDF export of a tab:

  • Multiple pages (A4) is the default. The tab is split across A4 landscape pages, and a tile that no longer fits moves to the next page.
  • One page per tab prints each tab as a single page, as tall as its content and laid out exactly like the dashboard. A report PDF then has one page per tab.

The setting is available from DataLion 2026.2.198.

Generated in the background

DataLion generates large PDFs asynchronously in the background. You start the export and carry on working; the finished document is then available for download. That way even a large report does not block the browser.

In the CI layout

The PDF is generated in the CI layout stored for your project – with the titles, descriptions and footers that are also defined in the PowerPoint master.

Other formats

PDF is only one of several output formats. You can export the same content as natively editable PowerPoint, as an Excel report book and as an image or CSV.

Tip: For sharing with people who have DataLion access, a shared live report is often more practical than a PDF – it stays up to date automatically.
