Enable Copy-Paste of Table Data in View Mode with Optional Audience Toggle
B
Belinda Bailey
In Displayr published dashboards, enable users to directly select and copy cell values from tables while in View mode using standard browser interactions (e.g., click-drag selection and Ctrl+C), independent of the existing Export to Excel functionality. This supports fast, ad-hoc extraction of small numbers or rows for emails, slides, and quick analysis without the overhead of downloading a file. The capability should be implemented client-side only, respect existing visibility and permission rules (users can only copy what they can see), and include a dashboard-level toggle that allows authors to enable or disable copy-paste for their audience as needed for governance or confidentiality requirements. This provides a low-friction default experience consistent with modern BI tools while giving customers explicit control over data access behavior.
