I was wondering if it is possible to print/down large PDF large report from a dashboard that requires many pages with a company logo. I tried view and it is only what is on my screen and the specific sheets from this dashboard does not include the logo which I need.
Not big text tables like that :( Essentially Tableau is a dashboarding tool and what you have created is a massive spreadsheet - that you now want to turn into a PDF? (yikes!!)
I'd revisit your requirements. Is it easier to pull the data directly from the database as a CSV? and then do some formatting? A PDF will be a nightmare for any user.
Tableau has (in my own opinion) limited features about exporting data in different formats, and it is because it is not a reporting tool (like SAP BusinessObjects for example).
The best way to add a company logo is to add an "Image" block inside your dashboard with the logo. The following image shows how to add in Tableau Online, I can't understand if you're using Tableau Online or Tableau Server, you mention Tableau Web that does not exist :-) .
Now I think that your problem is if you want to repeat the logo on every single page that you export, is this your case?
I would like to include some simple symbols in an HTML email - one being an unchecked checkbox, and the other being a checked checkbox.
Why not images?
This is for an Intranet email, so the user may view the email either when they are on the local network with the server, or outside. So I don't want to put images there. The client predominantly uses Outlook.
I thought I could just use unicode characters U+2610 Ballot Box and U+2611 Ballot Box with Check.
I know every vendor will customize their fonts, but when these two symbols are viewed in Outlook, they're totally screwed up.
Is there any simple and reliable way of having checkboxes in emails? Do I need to embed the images on every email?
I am trying to find a way to add custom page borders to ms word, so that I can access them from the Art: drop down menu.
I am using both watermarks, background images and borders and I would much prefer to keep them separate from each other.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Typically, Microsoft protects its Office assets in locations not accessed by users. If they have designed a type of artwork that can be augmented by the user, the user-saved content will be saved to a completely different location, so the Office assets remain distinct.
Locations often vary in current versions of Office, but for 64-bit Office 2019, I find the Microsoft page border art at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\BORDERS. Each .BDR file contains several page borders, so MSART1.BDR contains the Birds in Flight, Party Favor, Apples, Heart Balloon, Skyrocket, Party Glass, Confetti Streamers and Flowers...Roses borders.
It would be difficult to reverse engineer the .BDR file format, and even if you did, there's no guarantee that Office would recognize a new .BDR file added to the folder.
It would be much easier to create custom borders, watermarks and background images, then add those to Building Blocks/AutoText, which is Microsoft's solution for user asset storage.
I work for a large financial institution and all our web sites need to be accessible for people with disabilities. We are using Eclipse BIRT to generate some reports and I want to explore if anyone out there has any experience in making the reports accessible. The main problem is that there is a lot of data in the report and some of it may not be understandable by the value alone, for instance a string like "123444" may be an account number, a check number or a transaction id. In a pure HTML page we will either use a dl/dt/dd construct to make it clear the purpose of the date, or we use ARIA attributes like aria-labelledby.
Another area of concern is the creation of accessible PDF files.
Any help or report on experience will be greatly appreciated.
Given your description I presume that you are focusing on blind users. One of the most popular screen readers for English language use is JAWS by Freedom Scientific There is a free trial version which you can download for testing and/or your organization can purchase a copy.
You can read your report with JAWS and find what issues need to be addressed. Proper labeling conventions for buttons and such is probably the most overlooked by developers. (i.e. Button123 with Image1A is the submit button, JAWS can't read the picture of words in the image, soo...)
Speaking from experience (I am closely associated with a blind computer user) stay away from PDF if you want it to be blind friendly. Web pages and text documents are much more blind friendly.
PDF works to create a version of a document that is static for visual appeal. In the process is chops up the text, when JAWS tries to read it it will read half of one item, then half of another, than maybe jump back to finish the last 1/3 of the first, leaving the middle 1/6 for last, it is painful. Of course a PDF that does not have text layer (i.e. a picture of a word document) is not readable by any screen reader.
To preface this I'm not an ExactTarget expert.... We use ExactTarget and are interested in more archiving our email newsletters so that our subscribers can later use our articles as a reference. We have an archive folder set up in the exact target system, but that is not customer-facing and contains things like extra code.
As I understand it, the current process for archiving involves taking screenshots of the email that is sent out which is stitched together as a PDF. The PDF's are then stuck behind a password protected folder on a website.
Obviously, this is a hacky/low-tech way to do this.
Are there any ways to export these mails for archival purposes that people are using?
I am guessing from the above that you are using the premade templates and creating content using the Exact Target WYSIWYG editor. From there I am assuming also that these articles are in content boxes and HOPEFULLY each 'article' is in a single content box.
If so, then your best bet is to go to the HTML tab on this box and copy that code there and have this inserted onto your company blog (or website if you do not have a blog). Your network admin or website designer will likely know the best way to insert these snippets of code to fit the layout and navigation of the site.
If your message is not personalized, or if so you mdke a generic recipient in your list, you may be able to use the 'view as webpage' link to get the source code. Not sure if those links expire after X days or something though.I have never tried this or tested, but on most email sends there is a "view as webpage" link, maybe try taking one of these links and either hosting on your blog/site or using that link as a reference for your customers.
Using a PDF or screen shots is far from optimal as the content becomes an image and loses a lot of value.
Hope this helps.
