Each Analyze tab can produce a PDF of what’s on screen. PDF export appears when your plan includes exporting.

Set your **date range**, **graph view**, and **filters** first — the PDF reflects the current view.

## PDFs you can export from Analyze

| Report | What it contains | Where |
|--------|------------------|-------|
| **Dashboard PDF** | The **open graph view** (Timeline, Rhythm Map, Intervention Lens, Breakdown, Line Graph, or Overall Trend) | Dashboard — **Export PDF** on the graph toolbar |
| **Audit Log PDF** | The filtered audit log entries, with their notes | Audit Log tab |
| **MAR PDF** | The medication administrations in the range, with time, status, and who administered | MAR Reporting tab |

Incident Report PDFs and Required Document compliance PDFs are exported from those screens, not from Analyze. See [Exporting an incident report PDF](https://support.behca.com/hc/behca-support/articles/exporting-an-incident-report-pdf).

## Exporting a Dashboard PDF

1. Open **Analyze → Dashboard**.
2. Choose the graph view you want in the PDF.
3. Set the date range and any chips or title checkboxes.
4. Click **Export PDF**.

The PDF is a snapshot of **that one view**. Switch views and export again for another graph. **Overall Trend** still uses the last 12 months even if your date range is shorter.

## Exporting an Audit Log PDF

1. Open **Analyze → Audit Log**.
2. Apply your filters — date range, category chips, and search keyword.
3. Click **Export PDF**.

The PDF includes every entry that matched your filters, with notes inline.

## Exporting a MAR PDF

1. Open **Analyze → MAR Reporting**.
2. Pick a date range.
3. Click **Export PDF**.

The PDF lists the medication administrations in the range with their status (given / skipped / refused), time, and the staff member who administered.

## Tips for clean PDFs

- **Set the view and filters first.** PDFs reflect the current screen.
- **Choose a focused date range.** A wide audit log can run to many pages.
- **Check the data on screen first.** If it looks wrong on screen, it will look wrong in the PDF.
- **Export one Dashboard view at a time.** There is no combined PDF of every graph.

## What’s not in PDFs

- **Videos** — not playable in a PDF
- **Interactive hover** — flattened to a static image of the graph
- **Later changes** — the PDF is a snapshot at export time; new entries are not included until you re-export

## Sharing PDFs securely

PDFs can contain sensitive data:

- **Email** with care — use encrypted email if your organization provides it
- **Print** only when needed and store securely
- **Cloud** uploads should be access-restricted

## Common questions

- **Can I customize the PDF design?** — No. PDFs use BEHCA’s standard layout.
- **Why does the PDF differ slightly from the screen?** — The data is the same, but pagination and chart rendering can differ.
- **Can I schedule recurring reports?** — No. Each export is on-demand.
- **My PDF won’t download.** — Try another browser, and make sure the view has data — an empty result can produce an empty PDF.
