Tractorscope can expose downloadable query results when viewers need raw data in addition to visual summaries.
Download charts
A download chart is a chart type designed to provide query results as a downloadable data file. Use it when a dashboard needs an export action rather than a visual chart.
Embedded dashboard downloads
Dashboard embedding settings can allow or disable data downloads for embedded viewers. Disable downloads when embedded users should only view visualizations.
Common use cases
- Exporting report data
- Customer data exports
- Operational review lists
- Auditing rows behind a dashboard metric
- Downloading filtered dashboard results
Recommendations
- Only expose columns that viewers should be allowed to download.
- Use filters to scope data before download.
- Avoid download charts for extremely large unbounded queries.
- Review embedded download permissions before shipping customer-facing analytics.
