3.4 Screen Capturing and Report Sharing

The Dashboard offers reporting capabilities, which enables you to take a screenshot of your dashboard and export it in multiple formats. NetIQ recommends FireShot as the screen-capturing and sharing tool. When you download FireShot and install it on your computer, you will see the FireShot icon in your browser bar. Click on that icon to start using FireShot for screen capturing and sharing tasks.

With FireShot, you can perform the following reporting tasks:

  • Capture screenshot: You can capture entire dashboard screen, or a selected screen area.

  • Save screenshots as image or PDF: You can save the captured screenshot in various formats: image (.jpg or .png) or as PDF.

  • Print screenshot: You can directly print the screenshot, or copy it to a clipboard.

You can send the saved screenshot file (image or pdf) though email, and use it for any other report sharing purpose.

NOTE:You can also use any other screenshot capturing tool to achieve screen-capturing and reporting with the Dashboard.
