Power BI organizational visuals

You can develop your own custom Power BI visuals tailored to your own or your organization's specific needs. Usually, organizations develop their own custom visuals when none of the visuals included with Power BI meet their exact needs.

Some organizations might have unique requirements for their Power BI visuals. They might need visuals that can convey specific data or insights unique to their organization. They might have special data requirements, or they might highlight private business methods. These organizations can develop and maintain their own Power BI visuals that they can share throughout their organization.

The Power BI administrator uses the Admin portal to deploy and manage organizational visuals. After the visuals are deployed to the organizational repository, users in the organization can easily discover and import them into their reports directly from Power BI Desktop.

Considerations and limitations
