  1. Log in to the Power BI Web Service.
  2. Click on Workspaces.
  3. If you have multiple Workspaces click on the one your report is published.
  4. Select your report.
  5. On the top navigation pane, click the ellipses next to ‘Favorite’.
  6. Highlight Embed and select Website or Portal.

BrightWork Power BI Pack

Simplify project reporting with the BrightWork Power BI pack for SharePoint On-Premises.

The pack connects to the three BrightWork project data sources – Project Cache, Work Cache, and Project Status Report Cache – for complete insight into projects and portfolios.

Available to BrightWork customers, the Power BI pack is a pre-built report with six dashboards:

  • Portfolio dashboards with a roll-up summary of all project sites. The dashboard offers four filtering options: “Project Status,” “By Project Manager,” “By Project type,” “By Department,” and “By Priority.
  • Portfolio timeline, a Gantt view of all project sites. Drill down by year, quarter, month, week, and day.
  • Project and Task Timeline, a Gantt view of projects and tasks. Filter by project name, project type, project manager, and task owner.
  • Work Reports allow project managers to check the status of tasks, risks, issues, and goals.
  • The Status Report Dashboard includes RAG indicators, weekly updates, highlights, lowlights, and next steps.
  • The Issue Report helps project managers to get further information on issues, including the task-owner.

 

Our Power BI consultants will work closely with you to configure your Power BI environment to create powerful interactive dashboards using your enterprise data.
