    Hi, in current versions you can use the "share" functionality on the upper right of a Dashboard. Unfortunately there's no way to schedule it.

    Thanks Philipp, The requirement is to email the dashboards, one alternate solution was to create the dashboards in Report Studio and schedule it to be delivered via email.

    However the  drop zones (fields) that exist in the Visualization of dashboards do not exist in the visualization of Report studio.

    I cannot understand how the same visualization behave differently in Dashboard and Report Studio.

    I was looking for the same functionality to be able to schedule the email with the Dashboard Image in it.

    Anyone has any idea to Export the Image of the Dashboard and schedule it ?

    I could repurpose to use the exported image and send an email by Linux server utilities.

    Currently there is Share Dashboard via email functionality which includes Image of the dashboard and can export the pdf document with images of dashboard in it but this cannot be scheduled.
