Create a PNG Export
You can create a PNG export of a group structure chart and its sub-charts in Group Structure Visualisation and download the exported charts or save them to Working Documents.
-
Run a group structure and select Visualisation.
Refer to Run a group structure to learn more about how to run a group structure.
-
Manipulate the chart as required.
You can use filters, groups, define what information displays in the entity boxes and even what the boxes look like. Refer to the relevant topics to learn more.
-
Select Export
. -
Select Export as PNG from the list of options.
The Export as PNG image dialogue displays.
You can also download a PNG snapshot of the chart and sub-charts by selecting the Download PNG snapshot option. With that option, you can quickly download the chart in the state it is visible on the screen. This type of export uses the browser's built-in snapshot tool which limits the dimensions of the PNG snapshot. The limit depends on the browser you use. If the chart exceeds those dimensions, it is scaled down to that limit which might result in loss in detail.
-
In the Export as PNG image dialogue, select the charts you want to include in the export.
Each chart you select is exported as one image and if multiple charts are selected, the individual images are combined into a single .zip file when you download them.
-
(Optional) Select any extra options to customise your export.

A notification displays when the export finished. While the export is running, you can edit the chart without altering with the running export.
