Paginated reports administration of usage

Hi @KonradAntczak, as this is a fairly new offering, more features are being added on a regular basis, so please keep an eye on the What’s New / Blog . You can set up a Watching Alert by clicking on the bell icon.

In Amazon QuickSight, paginated reports provide detailed, printable reports for your data analysis needs. Let’s address your questions:

  1. Monitoring Report Unit Usage:
  • Amazon QuickSight doesn’t directly measure usage in terms of “report units.” Instead, it provides usage metrics such as views, interactions, and other engagement data. You can access these metrics through the QuickSight console or programmatically using the QuickSight API. However, these metrics may not align perfectly with the concept of report units.
  1. Setting Limits on Report Unit Usage:
  • QuickSight doesn’t offer a built-in feature to set limits on the number of report units a specific report can consume. However, you can manage costs and resource consumption by controlling user permissions, dataset sizes, and SPICE capacity allocation.
  1. PDF Generation and Permissions:
  • Readers in QuickSight can generate PDFs from reports, including paginated reports, if they have the necessary permissions. By default, users with appropriate access can export reports to PDF. Unfortunately, QuickSight doesn’t offer granular control over specific export formats such as PDF. However, you can control access to reports at the user or group level to limit who can export reports.
