Description

__Proposal:__
I’d like to be able to create a ‘task’ that can simply save a dashboard view in a PDF format, and email it to a user.

__Current behavior:__
I can create a task that processes data, or even posts it somewhere else.
I can also manually bring up a dashboard and print a screen, but it prints all kind of stuff I don't want

__Desired behavior:__
I’d like to be able to create a ‘task’ that can simply save a dashboard view in a PDF format, and email it to a user.

__Alternatives considered:__
1. Printing a dashboard as a PDF? This is inadeqate primarily because it's **manual**.
2. Creating this PDF elsewhere in a serverless code? That's inadequate because then the serverless code needs access to the data and how to render it etc etc. If we had that we wouldn't need InfluxDB 2.0 cloud (!)

__Use case:__
InfluxDB 2.0 is our data store of choice for an IIOT solution involving AWS IoT Core. What our customers would really want, in addition to being able to see data and gain insight from it, is being able to store customised digital human readable REPORTS to integrate with the processes they have.

Consider a customer wanting printed reports for each cycle of a machine to replace a report that is currently produced by a manual editing process

__Proposal:__
Short summary of the feature.

__Current behavior:__
Describe what currently happens.

__Desired behavior:__
Describe what you want.

__Alternatives considered:__
Describe other solutions or features you considered.

__Use case:__
Why is this important (helps with prioritizing requests)?
