Business value
Power users of Finance and Operations apps are able to embed Microsoft Power BI reports directly in application workspaces. Customers are finding amazing success using the Power BI service to author graphically rich analytical solutions and then share the solutions with members of their organization. The latest platform enhancement allows customers to integrate existing Power BI solutions that can include views sourced from external data systems. Best of all, there are no service interruptions required to distribute updates, giving customers greater flexibility to publish, at their own pace, enhancements to analytical solutions hosted on Power BI.
Feature details
With analytical workspaces in Finance and Operations apps, users get rich visualizations shown in the context of business operations. In addition to the analytical workspaces shipped by Microsoft, ISVs and partners have also built specialized analytical workspaces. Using guidance and tools, power users can transition analytical workspaces authored with entity store into Power BI template apps based on data flows. They can also submit apps to the Microsoft AppSource marketplace.
The analytical workspace experience that your users expect will remain unaffected while you get the benefit of better application lifecycle management. ISVs and partners who build analytical workspaces can now market their solutions to Dynamics 365 customers through AppSource.
