BI Dashboard for ASP.NET Core - How to export all dashboard items into the same PDF document

This example shows how to add a custom Export to PDF button that exports all dashboard items into the same PDF document.

Client

On the client, the ViewerApiExtensionOptions.onDashboardTitleToolbarUpdated event is handled to modify the dashboard title and add the custom export button to it. This functionality is encapsulated into a custom dashboard extension (the ExportAllItemsExtension.js file).

To perform the export operation, the client sends a GET request to a custom Export Controller.

Server

The custom Export Controller processes requests from the client side. This controller uses the following classes:

• The WebDashboardExporter class exports dashboard items to PDF.
• The PdfDocumentProcessor class joins exported documents together.

Files to Review

• ExportAllItemsExtension.js
• Startup.cs
• CustomDashboardStorage.cs
• ExportController.cs
• DashboardExportModel.cs
• _Layout.cshtml
• Index.cshtml
