Scheduling dashboards and saving them to the flash format

other Xcelsius - Crystal Dashboard Design

Hi,

Some of my users have a following requirement:
They have a dashboard (created in Dashboards) with data about their customer. They would like to schedule the dashboard so its data sources are automatically refreshed and then the dashboard is automatically saved with data into the flash format to a shared drive.

Is there a version of Dashboards where this is possible? We currently use the Dashboards version 4.0. Is any higher version of the Dashboard or the BI platform (4.1 or 4.2) capable of doing this?

Thank you.

From what I have seen, no. And since SAP is basically just keeping the Dashboard Design tool around for backward compatibility (no updates to the product), I do not believe there will be any changes to the product. Their big push is Design Studio and Lumira (supposedly, Design Studio is to be rolled into Lumira). Neither of these products produce flash. Not even sure if they can be schedule.
