Export Dashboard from Experimenter as HTML

I have a model that outputs a dashboard containing a number of graph and text elements as html. Typically I'll use these files when comparing results. Specifically, it's the layout of the graphs, and ability to zoom on gantt data, which I find useful.

I'm looking for a way to export a dashboard as html from the experimenter. So that I can run a group of scenarios, and have each one automatically export a dashboard as html. So far I've found the two approaches useful, although neither are ideal as they require a degree of manual work:

Saving state files - a state file can be saved for each scenario, after this I can go through, load each scenario into Flexsim and save the dashboard I need (not ideal in that it's done manually)
Report Builder - can be used to layout the graphs I want in a similar format, and can save a report for each scenario. Manual work is a lot less, although there's certain dashboard dashboard elements, such as dynamic text, which I'm not able to reproduce in the report builder.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.1.2

The Experimenter records enough information to re-draw each individual chart for each replication. Right now, it doesn't store the set of dashboards or how charts were positioned/sized on each dashboard. I will add this an an idea for a new feature to the dev list.

Thanks Jordan, using the Interactive Report Builder I'm able to reconstruct graphs for each scenario, which gives me most of what I want.

If it comes up, I think the ability to save a report template would be useful, so that once the selected graphs have been arranged in the report builder, this layout can be saved as a template and reused in future experiments (feel free to correct me if this is already available)
