To rearrange a report's position in the PDF output, simply drag the gadget to the correct column and then re-export the report.

Gadget configuration options for dashboard exports

Several gadget configuration options (accessible through the gadget's Edit option) influence the format of the Jira dashboard export:

Open

The Max PDF Export Legend Items option controls the maximum number of legend items that are exported to the PDF file. Since horizontal scrolling is not available in PDF exports, Dataplane permits you to select the maximum number of legend items to display. If the number of legend items exceeds the maximum, the extra legend items are omitted and replaced with the text "And 'X' more...".

The Show option allows the user to select whether the gadget displays the Chart, the Table, or the Chart and Table. When exported to PDF, if a gadget is configured as a Chart or a Table, the relevant chart or table will always be displayed inline in the report layout. When using the combined Chart and Table option, Dataplane will export the chart section of the report inline alongside the other dashboard items, with the data table section added at the end of the PDF as a full-page-width table.
