When printing a dashboard, consider the following.

- Printing is supported in Chrome browsers only.
- The Print action is not included with embedded dashboards.
- The print is a snapshot of the dashboard with your current filters and selections. If a widget is scrollable, only the current view of the widget prints. If the dashboard has multiple pages, only the currently open page prints.
- Colors and page orientation are based on your print settings.
