Hi Team, Is it possible to subscribe to just one tab in a GoodData report? I've built this report and need to send the weekly performance tab to customers every Monday, and the monthly performance tab on the first of each month. What's the best way to set that up?

Great question! Looking at your Venue Summary dashboard with its multiple tabs (Venue Summary, Weekly Performance, Monthly Performance, etc.), here's what you need to know: Subscribing to a Single Tab — Not Directly Supported Unfortunately, when you schedule an export for a multi-tab dashboard, all tabs are exported — each tab is saved as a separate file and delivered in a single ZIP archive. There is no built-in option to select only one specific tab for a scheduled export. [Dashboard Tabs] Best Workarounds Here are the most practical approaches for your use case: Option 1: Schedule Exports of Individual Widgets Instead of exporting the whole tab, you can schedule exports of individual widgets (charts/tables) from the Weekly Performance or Monthly Performance tabs. This gives you granular control over what gets sent and when. Steps: 1. Open the dashboard and navigate to the relevant tab. 2. Click the (ellipsis) menu on the specific widget. 3. Select Schedule export. 4. Set the frequency (e.g., weekly on Monday for the Weekly Performance widget, monthly on the 1st for Monthly Performance). 5. Add your customer recipients and configure the email content. [Schedule Widget Export] gooddata.ai/docs/dashboards/schedule-exports-visualization-1.webp Option 2: Create Separate Dashboards per Tab Split the Weekly Performance and Monthly Performance content into their own standalone dashboards. Then you can schedule each dashboard independently with the exact frequency you need — weekly on Monday for one, monthly on the 1st for the other. [Schedule Dashboard Export] Option 3: Use the API You can create export definitions and scheduled automations directly via the API, which gives you more control over what gets exported and when. [API Scheduling] Recommendation For your specific use case (two different tabs, two different schedules, sent to customers), Option 2 (separate dashboards) is likely the cleanest solution, as it gives you full control over scheduling each independently. If you only need specific charts rather than the full tab, Option 1 (widget-level exports) is the quickest to set up without restructuring your dashboard. > Note: Before setting up scheduled exports, ensure your administrator has configured an email destination and granted you the necessary workspace automation permissions.

Hi Cathy, I would just like to confirm our AI Assistants answer here - It’s not possible to subscribe to a single tab. But the best options available to you are the following and this should essentially give you thee same result: Option 1: Schedule Exports of Individual Widgets Option 2: Create Separate Dashboards per Tab I hope this helps, but just let us know if you have any other questions

Thanks Michael, do you have any plans to let us subscribe to individual dashboards or whole workbooks in the future?

As mentioned in our documentation below: When you click Export and choose an export type, all tabs are exported. Each tab is saved as a separate file. If the dashboard has more than one tab, the files are delivered in a single ZIP archive. gooddata.ai/docs/cloud/create-dashboards/dashboard-tabs So this is working as designed and we currently do not have any plans on our roadmap to be able to send out individual dashboard tabs at this time. However, another approach here would be to create a copy of your dashboard - And on this one, you remove all other tabs, apart from the one you want to send out, and from there setup your schedule, and you can then update the “Share dashboard” settings if you don’t want other users to be able to see the dedicated dashboard you have setup for your schedule.

Thanks,

Hi Cathy, my sincere apologies about this, but I meant to add in this thread that I will be happy to submit this as Product Feedback on your behalf and it seems I forgot to add that there 🙂 If you let me know how important this feature is for you, and your team, I will submit this for you, and our Product team will review this and consider this for future development moving forward
