How-To Enable Power BI or Tableau Reports on your Site

Authors list

Power BI

You can include business intelligence and data visualisation by integrating Power BI & Tableau Reports via your Kahootz dashboards for any users with access to review and analyze that data.

Before applying these features to your site, you must enable them within your site's configuration.

nullPower BI & Tableau Reports are ONLY available to sites with an ENTERPRISE license.
If you would like to enable this functionality, please get in contact with your Site Owners.

If you've already configured Power BI / Tableau on your site & wish to apply dashboard items, please refer to this article.

Site Configuration 

nullYou MUST have a Power BI embed license/capacity to display your Power BI reports via Kahootz.
Here’s a useful URL Link: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/power-bi-embedded

To enable "Power BI" on your site, the Kahootz team (KB) will require the following information from a Site Owner:

nullThe Power BI credentials that you provide support CANNOT have MFA (Two-Factor) enabled.
We’re unable to assist with disabling MFA as each “Identity Provider Type” steps are differnet.

Once the support team has received your information, they'll apply the details to your site & will test/confirm your settings.

 

Troubleshooting

Get report failed - error 401: can also resolve themselves (this explains why it can randomly start working).

In the user-owns data scenario, sometimes users will get a 401 error that resolves itself after they access the Power BI portal.
When the 401 error happens, add the 
RefreshUser Permissions call in the app as explained in the Update user permissions.

Clear your internet browser cache, sign in to Power BI and go to this URL, which forces an update of your credentials.

  • Written confirmation approving the request.

  • Tableau Trusted URL ie: <<URL to your Tableau >>

  • Tableau Site Name ie: kz_tab_reports.
