Power BI

Combine Power BI’s robust reporting capabilities with Vibe’s dynamic display options. This guide outlines how to integrate Power BI embedded reports and dashboards with Vibe.

Power BI Embedded Methods: Key Differences

We offer two Power BI embedded options for displaying reports and dashboards, and the suitable method depends on the hardware being used. Here's a breakdown of the two methods and their differences:

1. Power BI Embedded Report/Dashboard

This method supports near real-time data updates, with the ability to refresh slide content as frequently as every 15 seconds. However, it requires Chrome version 94 or higher, which limits its availability to the following devices:
  1. Windows Digital Signage Player
  2. Desktop Player for Screensaver
  3. System-on-Chip hardware for WebOS 6.x and Tizen 7.x (or later).
When you set a slide up, you choose the data type (report or dashboard) and then choose the report/dashboard.
The slide will start displaying the report/dashboard right away, but it will not work in some WebOS or Tizen screens

2. Power BI Screenshot Capture

This method offers a lower refresh frequency, with data updates limited to every 10 minutes. It is primarily used as a fallback option for older System-on-Chip hardware, specifically:
  1. Devices running WebOS 4.x
  2. Devices running Tizen 6.x (or earlier)
When you set a slide up, you choose the data type (report or dashboard) and then choose the report/dashboard
This will queue up a selenium project to regularly get a screenshot of the report or dashboard
Note: It may take up to 10 minutes before you can preview the slide content and for your slide to start displaying that screenshot 
Notes
Both methods use Microsoft’s recommended Power BI embedded approach, which leverages Access Tokens for authentication. This ensures content is displayed securely without requiring individual user account authentication.
