Either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/dev\/exporting-charts\/using-fc-export-server\/exporting-charts-as-image-and-pdf\">FusionCharts export server<\/a> or the one you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/dev\/exporting-charts\/using-fc-export-server\/server-side-export\/setup-private-export-server\/asp-net\">setup on your own<\/a>. We realised this was not the best way and we have made something to make your job faster and easier &#8211; client-side export.<\/p>\n<p><b>Why do you need client-side export feature?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve received quotations from vendors for a critical project that you are working on and, courtesy FusionCharts, you\u2019ve created some good-looking, information-rich charts that compare the pros and cons of each vendor as well as their price and deadline figures.<\/p>\n<p>The senior management asks for a presentation and you can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>But wait. Won\u2019t 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\u2019t think so. This is where client-side export comes into picture.<\/p>\n<p>While we have an established server-side exporting feature, common concerns with this feature include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Availability of a good internet connection to send to and receive data from the server.<\/li>\n<li>Confidentiality concerns around using the publicly hosted export server. \u00a0We 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The primary need for coming up with the client-side export feature \u00a0was to eliminate the need of a server for exporting, thus bringing down the turnaround time it takes for a download, as well as to to address the data confidentiality issues. The client-side export feature removes the round-trip involved in exporting from a \u00a0server and eliminating the difficulties involved in setting up one, with the proper dependencies.<\/p>\n<p><b>How to make use of it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>To enable the client-side export feature for your application, all you need to do is set the exportEnabled and the exportAtClientSide (since v3.8.0) attributes to 1 and you are good to go. You can test it live here.<\/p>\n<p>For more details on how to use this feature you can check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/dev\/exporting-charts\/using-fc-export-server\/exporting-charts-as-image-and-pdf\">developer <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/dev\/exporting-charts\/using-fc-export-server\/exporting-charts-as-image-and-pdf\">center article on client-side export<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b> This feature is currently supported in latest versions of Chrome and Firefox only. Our team is working hard to roll it out for other browsers in coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p><b>Have any questions?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We hope you give client-side export feature a try in your next project!
