Attaching the grid to the E-mail

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to attach the grid to the E-mail. I am able to attach the chat using the xMIIChart(chart) actions. But I am not able to attach the grid to the e-mail attachement.

Could any one share the idea.

Thanks

Hi Muvva,

One quick answer is to put the grid data into a PDF Table in a PDF document. You could probably build the html for presenting the data in the body of an email, but that would be rather tedious and time consuming. Just build the PDF and attach it to the email. You should be able to do that pretty quickly.

Unlike building the chart object in an action block, you cannot save the grid object quite the same way. I (and others) have been down that road and it just is not happening.

Good luck,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the solution. I did that way and I am getting the data.

But what I want to do is directly attach the grid and the chat with the PDF document.

I dont think you can generate an image from a igrid like you can an ichart. I could be wrong.

Muvva,

I would recommend staying with the PDF, but you could try posting some dynamically generated html containing your grid data in the body of the email. I have not done this, so I don't know how hard it would be to do. Perhaps someone else has tried it or has another option to propose. If I think of any other approach, I will let you know.

It would be nice if you could save an image of a grid object like you can with the Chart action block, but at this time, that functionality is not available. Maybe in the future...

Good luck,
