You can email a snapshot of a dashboard and all of its Klips to share with others as a one-time event or according to a schedule. When you share a snapshot of a dashboard and its Klips, the snapshot reflects the state of the dashboard and its Klips at the time of sharing.

Content can be shared in either of the following two formats:

• PDF: delivered as an email attachment
• Image: displayed in the body of an email message

This article includes:

• How to share a snapshot as a one-time email event
• How to set up a schedule for emailing a snapshot
• How to manage (view, delete, or immediately send) a scheduled email snapshot

Note: The account administrator can enable or disable the option for users to download and email Klips and Klip dashboards. This is an account-wide setting and is found in the Admin UI section under Settings > Security > Download.

Sharing a snapshot as a one-time email event

To email a snapshot of a dashboard:

1. In the left navigation sidebar, under Dashboards, click the dashboard you want to email.
2. Click the 3-dot menu for the dashboard.
3. Click Share > Email dashboard.
4. After To:, type the recipients' email addresses. Use a semicolon to separate multiple email addresses. Email recipients must be registered users of the Klipfolio account to which the dashboard is associated.
5. If you want to add information to the emailed snapshot, enter it in the Notes text field.
6. After Format, select PDF or Image.
7. Click Options and set up PDF Settings or Image Download Settings, depending on the format you selected, noting the following:
• Fit to one page displays all content on one page by reducing the font size.
• Multiple pages inserts page breaks appropriately to keep content together.
• Multiple pages (no breaks) maintains the layout whenever possible. Content may flow to the next page.
• The Date/Time stamp is disabled by default. When enabled, Date/Time is displayed in Eastern Time.
