Retargeting dashboard content as interactive data snapshots for collaboration platforms

A computing device, comprising:

• a display;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• receiving user selection of a first data element, of a plurality of data elements, from a first data dashboard that is displayed on the computing device, the first data element including a first measure data field and the user selection designating the first data element as a first snapshot component of a first snapshot;
• in response to receiving the user selection of the first data element from the first data dashboard, displaying, in a first user interface, a plurality of component properties for the first snapshot component, the plurality of component properties including a plurality of:
• a number format for the first measure data field, an aggregation type that is applied to data values of the first measure data field, a temporal breakdown of the data values of the first measure data field via a time dimension data field, and a categorical breakdown of the data values of the first measure data field via a dimension data field;
• receiving, via the first user interface, user specification of first values for at least a first subset of component properties of the plurality of component properties;
• in accordance with receiving the user specification of the first values for at least the first subset of component properties:
• updating the first snapshot component according to the first values;
• generating a first snapshot that includes the first snapshot component;
• and
• causing the first snapshot to be displayed as a message on a messaging application executed by an electronic device, the messaging application associated with a collaboration platform.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing device having a display, one or more processors, and memory, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving user selection of a first data element, of a plurality of data elements, from a first data dashboard that is displayed on the computing device, the first data element including a first measure data field and the user selection designating the first data element as a first snapshot component of a first snapshot;
• in response to receiving the user selection of the first data element from the first data dashboard, displaying, in a first user interface, a plurality of component properties for the first snapshot component, the plurality of component properties including a plurality of:
• a number format for the first measure data field, an aggregation type that is applied to data values of the first measure data field, a temporal breakdown of the data values of the first measure data field via a time dimension data field, and a categorical breakdown of the data values of the first measure data field via a dimension data field;
• receiving, via the first user interface, user specification of first values for at least a first subset of component properties of the plurality of component properties;
• in accordance with receiving the user specification of the first values for at least the first subset of component properties:
• updating the first snapshot component according to the first values;
• generating a first snapshot that includes the first snapshot component;
• and
• causing the first snapshot to be displayed as a message on a messaging application executed by an electronic device, the messaging application associated with a collaboration platform.
