Outputs: PDF screenshots of Content views using Native Browser

OliverB — Tue, 11 Aug 2015 12:41:58 -0400

Hi,

We are having issues creating PDF reports where we use a content view that contains javascript and html (with css) using the native browser in omniscope.

There are 3 scenarios that cause the issue
1. Part or all of the view is not on the screen when it is opened to take the screenshot
2. When the publish is carried out on a scheduler machine
3. There is another window open on top (I know that there shouldn't really be any screens open, but it is hard not to when the reports cant be run on a scheduler as per point 2)

The issue doesn't happen on views where the native browser is not selected.

Attached is a screenshot of what happens. The part of the view that is off screen shows blacked out, and the part that has another screen open shows that screen.

I am using 2.9-[Hotfix_BatchPublishMethod] b1642 (28-Apr-2015 15:44:00) Build revision:8b20a5fae04b , but there are others in the office using different versions and having the same issue.

Is this a known issue and is there a fix on the way?

Thanks,
Oliver.

Dial View: Rendering Issue when Publishing Batch Output PDFs

OliverB — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 08:59:27 -0400

Hi,
I am having an issue when including a Dial view in a report that I use a batch output to export to PDFs. The dial looks good in omniscope, but the dial is often very small when published to PDF.

I believe that the issue may be caused by the dial animation when the tab opens. The screenshot happens before the dial has completely opened and therefore is captured only half open. Every now and again it does work, but most of the time it doesn't.

There doesn't seem to be an option to disable the dial view animation on tab open. I have tried changing two settings but this doesn't seem to have had an effect
1. Advanced>Performance>Use Open/Close Animation - Turned this off
2. Advanced>Miscellaneous>Web View Grab Screenshots Delay - Increased to 5 seconds and no improvement seen

Is there a way to remove the animations from the dial view, or force the batch output to wait for it to be fully opened before taking the screenshot?

My omniscope version is 2.9-[Hotfix_BatchPublishMethod] b1642

Thanks

Please advise

Export: Image Quality when copying views as screenshot images?

aknotts — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 04:01:26 -0500

Is there a way to improve the image quality when copying a view as an image to paste into PowerPoint?

I have tried maximising the view I am interested in so its the only view on the tab, then File > Export to PowerPoint, changing the Advanced settings to get a higher DPI... however, when I print it, it restores the view I maximised to its original size and prints all the views rather than just the one I want. (I hope that makes sense).

Thanks

Outputs: Printing view variations as re-usable documents?

agrynie2 — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 13:21:18 -0400

Hello,

Is there a way to automate the export of screenshots in Omniscope? Basically, I have a file where I have pie charts. I want export about 100 different pie charts in png or jpg format to use in presentations. Ideally, I would like to say export the pie chart for all records that match this filter. The pie chart will be different for each individual record, as the underlying data is different, but I won't have to manually export the chart for each record.

I am using the Desktop Edition of Omniscope.

Outputs: Screenshot exports...dimensions are not respected?

tamax — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 11:23:12 -0500

Hi - When we try to export screenshots using Output blocks in DataManager, and we pick a size, like 800x600 pixels in png format for instance, the exported image is always 3200x2400? We tried all formats and the exported image is never the size we picked?

We are using Omniscope Server version 2.7 build 461 x64

Thanks, Maxime
