Re: Exporting data into formatted report?
Not really. Not in the way you are looking for.
Domo’s native export options (Excel, CSV, PDF) are limited. You cannot control formatting, add dynamic headers/dates, or create multi-section, report-style layouts purely through Domo dashboards. Exported Excel files will be basic tables without merged cells, advanced formatting, or dynamic tiles.
You could try building a dashboard specifically for reporting. Arrange multiple cards in a clean layout and export to PDF.
Or you can use the Domo API to generate reports externally. Pull the dataset using the API using Python or some other method. Within your code, create bold headers, dynamic dates, conditional formatting, etc. This is the only way to replicate a Crystal Report-style report.
AI Chat performance improvement
AI Chat now has a default limit on the number of columns it supports. Without a Data Dictionary defined, Chat will use the first 50 columns in the Dataset. With a Data Dictionary Defined, Chat will use the columns you define as relevant to answering questions.
For Datasets with more than 50 columns and no Data Dictionary defined, users will see the following prompt.
Re: Easy dataset field width extension
I have this same issue with a client now, this addition is necessary for the implementation of AI text generation.
Re: Allow manual refresh of Cloud Amplifier / Federated dataset schema
Since joining Domo a little over a month ago, I've heard a few requests for a manual "Refresh Now" button. I see the need for it – when building / testing MagicETL data flows as well as in other areas.
This is on our roadmap, and I'm hoping to get it scheduled for dev in the coming months.
Another enhancement that we're planning – for which we already have mockups – is the ability to define separate caching TTL rules for tables / datasets individually or in groups … instead of having just one TTL setting that applies to all tables / datasets within a Cloud Amplifier integration. This way, some datasets could be scheduled to update frequently (to avoid staleness) while others be cached for longer periods (to reduce costs in the underlying CDW).
Even with fine-grain control of caching on a per-table basis, I still think there is a need for manual "Refresh Now" in ad hoc prototyping and testing.
Re: Admin > Reports is Empty??
On my end, I was able to figure out what the issue was, as unfortunatley Wendy's response did not work for me.
But after hearing back from Domo Support, I learned that my recent access to a beta feature had caused a UI glitch in my system. Domo pushed a bug fix shortly after and its been fine ever since.
AI Agent for dataset AI Readiness walkthough app
🚀 New in the Domo Solutions App Library
Our latest addition is now live: an AI Agent for Dataset AI Readiness.
This workflow + AI agent makes it simple to automate AI readiness across your datasets, saving you from the manual work of reviewing each column, adding context, and defining synonyms.
💡 Our walkthrough uses DomoStats datasets as an example, but the guide is designed to help you adapt the process to your own data needs. It’s especially powerful if you manage a large number of datasets and want to accelerate AI adoption without sacrificing consistency.

Re: domo.onDataUpdate() Bug
Thank you! Sadly still haven't been able to get anything from Domo despite being a Diamond support customer and submitting the issue over three weeks ago so this is greatly appreciated!
