      Embed Web Content in Inspire Dashboards

      The Embed Web Content widget allows users to easily embed reports in dashboards from outside sources such as Microsoft, Power BI, Tableau, or Looker.

      Step 1. Navigate to Dashboards in Inspire from the Waffle Menu

      Step 2. Create a Dashboard by clicking the + Dashboard

      Note: If you already have a Dashboard created, you can click the pencil icon to edit. 

      Step 3. Name your Dashboard and Select the Folder you wish to save it in. You can choose between

      • My Dashboards if you are the only one that will be viewing.
      • Company Dashboards if you would like everyone in the company to have access.  

      Step 4. Save

      Step 5. Once you have Saved your new Dashboard, a side pane will pop out. If you are using an existing dashboard, click the Add Widget button in the upper right corner.
