Trouble posting a snapshot of dashboard to Chatter.

@Karanraj@Karanraj
A snapshot is a static image of a dashboard component at a specific point in time posted to a Chatter feed.
  • Post a component snapshot to its dashboard feed to share information with everyone following the dashboard. For example, post a snapshot of a regional sales chart to let your team know that sales are down in the Midwest.
  • Post a component snapshot to a user or group feed to spark comment or action from that user or group.
Each snapshot has a “Viewing As” label. This is the name of the running user whose dashboard component you’re viewing.

You can also post snapshots of filtered components (except Visualforce or s-control components). When viewers click the snapshot title in the feed, they’re taken to your filtered view of the dashboard if the filters are still valid. If the filters aren’t valid, they see the unfiltered dashboard.

If you don't see feeds, ask your administrator to enable feed tracking for dashboards.
  • Hover over a component to display the  menu.To clear the hover menu, click an empty part of the screen.
  • Choose where you want your snapshot to appear.
    • To show it in a dashboard, click Post Snapshot to Dashboard Feed.
    • To show it to a user or group, click Post Snapshot to User or Group Feed.
  • Write a comment in the text box and click OK. If you’re posting a filtered component, you may want to mention that in your comment.
The snapshot and comment immediately appear in the dashboard feed.
