We create a Canvas like the attached example once a month to monitor long-term trends of key operational parameters.
Previously, this work was done using Excel, but we have recently migrated to Charts and Canvas.

As we move toward full-scale operational use, we would appreciate your support in resolving the following two challenges.

These improvements are critical for reducing operational workload and enabling sustainable use of Canvas for monthly monitoring.

Request ①
We previously requested a permission transfer feature for Charts. However, it is currently difficult to locate individual Charts from within Canvas.Cognite Hub

Therefore, we would like to request the following enhancement:

Ability to select Charts directly within Canvas and transfer their ownership/permissions in bulk

Without this capability, when the responsible person changes, users must first locate all relevant Charts individually and then manually duplicate them one by one. This process is time-consuming and creates a significant operational burden.

 
Request ②
When downloading the entire Canvas as it is, each Chart becomes too small to view clearly, making the feature practically unusable.

Each month, we include “Special Notes” (as shown in the attached example) and review selected Charts together with those notes.

Therefore, we would like to request the following functionality:

Ability to select specific Charts on Canvas and:

  • Extract only the selected Charts
  • Automatically format them into an A4-sized layout
  • Export both the visual output and the underlying data (CSV)

This feature would enable us to generate clear and usable reports for monthly reviews.

 

Resolving these issues is essential for enabling effective operational use of Canvas.
We would greatly appreciate your consideration and support.
