compile-report-pack

Single-action Looker Action Hub using Python + FastAPI. Includes SendGrid for emails.

User Information

Example Report Pack:

1. Create a board
2. Add at least two sections
   • The first section must contain a look that includes a board_id value in the first row
   • Adding a Table Calculation with the name "Board ID" is the easiest way to do this
   • This board_id refers to the number of the board, taken from the end of the board's URL
     • e.g. https://your-instance.looker.com/browse/boards/5
3. In the second section onwards, all dashboards will be included as pages in the compiled report
4. You can add a look which includes filter values, to generate multiple pages of the same dashboard with different filter settings (e.g. one page per department)
5. Using the section description, you can define a header page to be included
   • These have to be stored on the Action Hub application in the input/compile_report_pack directory
   • Example: Section Two [cover:section_2.pdf]
6. Using the section description, you can set pages to be printed as A3 rather than A4
   • Example: Section Two [cover:section_2.pdf][size:A3]
