Power BI and dashboard embedding

Why put a dashboard on a screen?

Dashboards often stay on the laptop of whoever opens them. On a screen that is always on, the team target, the day's output or customer waiting time is seen by everyone at once. When everyone looks at the same figure, meetings get shorter too. Factories, contact centres, sales teams and management floors want their dashboards on a screen for that reason.

What you can do today

In MIA you can show a web page in a zone of a program. If a dashboard has a public address and the page allows embedding, it can be tried in such a zone. Web page items need an internet connection.

What can be built on request

Most business dashboards require sign-in and should not be shared publicly. Secure embedding for Power BI or the tool you use can be built for your installation: screens could show only the relevant report through a connection with limited rights, without signing in with a personal account. Several dashboard pages could rotate as scenes and change by shift with time rules. The clock, announcements or scrolling text could play on the same screen next to the dashboard.

What we need to know to scope it

• The dashboard tool and license type (for example Power BI, Grafana, Looker Studio)
• The report pages to show and how often they refresh
• The number of screens and where they are
• Your IT team's security rules

With this we would suggest a trial with a single report page first. Scope, timing and price are agreed for each project.
