Install Business performance analytics

Before installing Business performance analytics, check to make sure all the prerequisites are completed.

Important

Always deploy environments using an unnamed account. This account must be from the customer domain, such as dynadmin@customer.com or dynadmin@customer.onmicrosoft.com. We strongly recommend using the same dedicated environment admin account on all environments. This avoids situations where an individual admin user leaving the organization disrupts administration operations in the Business performance analytics app.

To install Business performance analytics, follow these steps.

  1. Request the install link then select the link Microsoft will provide.
  2. Select Get it now. The page will navigate to the Power Platform admin center.
  3. In the Power Platform admin center, select the Microsoft Power Platform environment to install the application into.
  4. Accept the terms and conditions, and then select Install. This will start the installation of Business performance analytics in the selected environment.
  5. Go to the environment page for the selected environment, click Dynamics 365 apps to check status of the installation. During installation the status is Installing. On completion, the status will change to Installed. Refer to the Frequently Asked Questions if the status has a different value.

Note

If you uninstall and install Business performance analytics, any new reports that were created won't be saved.
