What kind of view can be scheduled for pdf delivery?

Hi,

All views in my application can not be scheculed to pdf delivery(disabled in Action menu). And I notice that in the ui_examples examples, most of the views can not be scheduled to pdf delivery. Is there any documentation for this? Is there anyway to make flash charts display correctly?

Thanks,

Dianbo

I believe any view where the search runs automatically should have that option available in the actions menu. So that would be

1) any simplified dashboard view,
2) any simplified form search view where autorun is on,
3) and any advanced XML of any kind where there's any autoRun="True" attributes present.

so to break down the views in the search app for instance, all the dashboards under status will have it enabled, the 'form search' tools under status that require the user to make a choice and hit return first, have it disabled, and then the flashtimeline view, advanced charting view, report builder views etc.. all have it disabled as well.

And is your question about flash charts related to pdf delivery? Flash Charts should come across in the pdf just fine - if they're not then maybe there's another problem.

Also note that views with realtime searches should not be schedule for PDF delivery. From the 4.1.2 known issues page: It is possible to create a dashboard which has a real-time search on it and then have it scheduled for delivery. This is not actually supported. (SPL-29782)
