Embed PowerBI Reports In SYNCHRO Control
In SYNCHRO Control, users are able to embed their own PowerBI reports inside the Dashboards tab. This will allow users to create the own reports with SYNCHRO data, as well as data from any other project-related application, and show it inside of SYNCHRO Control for a complete project overview.
Step 1: Get the embed URL from PowerBI

Inside the SYNCHRO Control project, navigate to Administration > Manage PowerBI dashboards and click New.
A pop up appears asking for a report name and the embed URL from the previous step. Fill out both and hit Save.
Step 3: Access the report in SYNCHRO Control
To access the report, navigate to Dashboards > PowerBI dashboards to see the project report from PowerBI.
