Why (Problem Statement & context)

Currently, users can view report data within the application UI, but there is no built-in way to export this data to a downloadable format like CSV. Many customers have requested this capability to support offline analysis, custom reporting, and internal sharing.

Proposal

Add a contextual menu to each panel with the options to:

  • Export data as CSV
  • Down a PNG of the visualizations (It looks like eCharts already supports this out-of-the-box)
