Resize charts of questions sent by email

Good morning,

When we subscribe to a dashboard with charts (ie : pie), the mail received has the chart that take the whole page. Is there a way to reduce the size of charts received in the mail and have the possibility to put more than 1 chart per lign in the mail?

thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Hi @Mor0xx
That sounds like a bug, but please provide the following:

  1. "Diagnostic Info" from Admin > Troubleshooting
  2. Which email client you are using
  3. A screenshot of the problem

Yes, you can have multiple charts in a subscription:

Sure,

  1. The email I use is Office365 with StartTLS

  2. here is a part of my dashboard :

But in the mail the charts are like this :

I had to unzoom to only see a part of the chart which takes too much place, and those charts, since they take the whole lign in the mail body, the charts are all arrange in 1 column i would say, not like in the dashboard.

best regards,

@Mor0xx You're seeing this issue:
https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/6874 - upvote by clicking :+1: on the first post

Thanks. So as I can see, there will be a future update to fix this since it should have been already fixed?

@Mor0xx The issue is open.
When there's an open issue, then the problem still exists. When an issue is closed, then a milestone is attached, so you can see from which version it will be fixed.
I cannot tell you when this issue will be fixed, since it's specific to Outlook not following the standards.
