For a second dashboard/application use case we need to send an email with report from an automation script, or put the report on a shared drive.
The script will build a spectrum monitor and monitor script with a specific built-on-the-fly preset.
The report will then contain this spectrum monitor trace.
Is there a way to send emails with the new dashboard reports attached from automation script?
Difficulty is also that the layout of the report depends on a mode, being SAT, ASI, IP, LBand or IF.
Depending on the mode some modules need to be shown or hidden.
Also, the table content being shown in the report depends on the mode.
I guess this means we need to build multiple dashboards for each of the modes, or is there another way to do this?
And also we need to make use of custom data sources for the dynamic behavior of the table content?
The report also needs to contain an image which is hosted on a DMA server, but the URL for the image is dynamically updated.

I therefore want to feed this dynamic URL through a feed into a web component. Is that possible?
Hi Jeroen,
I’ll try to answer all the questions in your post:
- Is there a way to send emails with the new dashboard reports attached from automation script?
=> you can send the reports via email using the ‘GenerateMailReportRequest’ message. This is the same message as is used when sending the report using the Scheduler. - I guess this means we need to build multiple dashboards for each of the modes, or is there another way to do this?
=> There is currently no way to conditionally hide components on a dashboard. If you need different layouts, you will indeed have to create multiple dashboards. - And also we need to make use of custom data sources for the dynamic behavior of the table content?
=> This question was less clear to me. If you mean that different rows in the table have different columns, then this is not possible at all. All rows returned from a GQI query should have the same columns. The columns themselves can be based on an input argument of an Ad Hoc source. Since you will have to create multiple dashboards, you can also use a different query with different column on each dashboard without needing to create a Ad Hoc source. - I therefore want to feed this dynamic URL through a feed into a web component. Is that possible?
=> This is possible from DataMiner 10.3.0 [CU14]/10.4.0 [CU2]/10.4.5 onwards (see docs)
