Steps to Export
Users must be able to Edit the page in order to complete these steps.
-
Ensure the User Impersonation feature is enabled on the charts you want to include in the export (learn more here)
-
Publish the page
-
In the top right corner, click More Actions
-
At the bottom of the list, select Generate Custom Charts export images
-
Export the page to PDF or Word
Why do I need to do this?
-
On Confluence Cloud, an image that is used must already be an attachment on the page
-
Currently, each user who views a chart does so as their own user, which means the data displayed is based on their permissions on the connected Jira instance
-
Custom Charts would either need to save multiple attachments (one for each user) or overwrite the attachments, which results in a security issue
-
The security issue is that there are no granular permissions regarding attachments - it’s either “View” or “No view” on all attachments on the page
-
User Impersonation is the workaround for this
-
-
When a Custom Chart has User Impersonation enabled, everyone who views the page sees exactly the same data loaded on the chart
-
Now, the Custom Chart can save a single image of itself as an attachment to the page, which can then be used for PDF and Word exports
