The email subscription feature is great where the user will get the snapshot of the dashboard/report in the email.

However, I noticed that the image is low quality and appear small in the email content. It will be great if the user is allow set the preferences on the image quality and size in the email content.


Currently, it's too small and low quality to be really useful, and this is a frequent requests from many of my customers. Though I tell them that it's supported but they are let down later by the usefulness of it due to the size and quality.


Thanks!

Yes, please address this.

This will go a long way in getting strong detractors to use and participate.

In these early days, it's important to deliver a full dashboard via email to maximize the chances they'll click through.

If half the image is missing, then credibility goes out the window.

Help us get this over the goal line.

We found a workaround for this issue!
If you create a dashboard and include the report is generates a larger image.

The folks traveling NEED to be able to simply see the report without clicking through or opening an attachment. Their time pressures are extremely HIGH. Making them jump through extra hoops to get their numbers is NOT an option. Eliminating the wire frame sizing restrictions around the picture would greatly enhance user acceptance of Power BI reports.

It would also be very nice to be able to choose ONE visual from a report to send as a high quality image rather than the entire report page

We have chosen Power BI also for the reason of having this functionality and the message is much stronger driving behavior and focus in an email every morning (in readable format) then when you have to click through to a website, for those travelling this is a nightmare for example (as is the use of an app as this also requires an action on their side).

PLUS - The Subscription reports should be Left aligned to minimize the white space, considering lot of white space on both sides of the visuals in the email body and end-user look and feel.
