If you have been using FusionCharts, then only way to export your charts into image, PDF or SVG till now was to use a server. Either FusionCharts export server or the one you setup on your own. We realised this was not the best way and we have made something to make your job faster and easier – client-side export.
Why do you need client-side export feature?
You’ve received quotations from vendors for a critical project that you are working on and, courtesy FusionCharts, you’ve created some good-looking, information-rich charts that compare the pros and cons of each vendor as well as their price and deadline figures.
The senior management asks for a presentation and you can’t wait to show them what you have. You decide to use our server-side export feature that comes out of the box to export your charts as JPEGs and add them to your presentation.
But wait. Won’t this data classify as confidential information? Would it be okay then if you used a publicly hosted server to export and download the chart? We don’t think so. This is where client-side export comes into picture.
While we have an established server-side exporting feature, common concerns with this feature include:
- Availability of a good internet connection to send to and receive data from the server.
- Confidentiality concerns around using the publicly hosted export server. We do provide programs to set up the export server at a your end, but this requires you to have a knowledge about configuring and using servers. This, again, is a downside.
