Manage Dashboard Exports

Required Tenable Vulnerability Management User Role: Basic, Scan Operator, Standard, Scan Manager, or Administrator

With the export feature, you can export dashboard data in CSV, PDF, and detailed PDF formats. You can create dashboard exports on demand or schedule automated exports to specified recipients.

You can also manage your dashboard exports. You can download them, view your export history, delete your exports, or delete their configuration.

Note: While you cannot export the Vulnerability Management Overview and Asset View dashboards, you can export their associated landing pages, or export individual widgets on those dashboards. For more information, see Export a Full Dashboard Landing Page and Export an Individual Dashboard Widget.
