Powerful Performance Management
Solution
PerformancePoint Server 2007 is a powerful and
convenient performance management application that allows decision
makers to be in control. Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 provides
all of the functionality that is needed for performance management
including scorecards, dashboards, management reporting, analytics,
planning, budgeting, forecasting, and consolidation. The application
reaches all employees, across all business functions (finance,
operations, marketing, sales, and human resources).
PerformancePoint Printing Problem
But when it comes to printing reports and dashboards
in PerformancePoint, users face a real problem. PerformancePoint doesn’t
provide built-in tools for printing. So users have to print out a
dashboard from within Internet Explorer. And it is not a good way, as
all PerformancePoint elements are printed as well.
Today this problem is solved with the
PerformancePoint Print WebPart. It is an add-on solution for
PerformancePoint and SharePoint, which will allow you to quickly and
easily print dashboards without the extra navigational clutter. The
solution removes all PerformancePoint and SharePoint elements and
provides you a clean-looking report or dashboard that is ready for
print.
How Does It Work?
There is nothing simpler! It is a web part and an
ActiveX control solution. A small ActiveX control will be installed on
the end-user computer after visiting a dashboard page. The end-user
clicks the PRINT PREVIEW button and a small dialog window will open,
allowing the user to see what the report will look like before printing.
Then, the end-user can direct it to any printer and print.
