Embedded power BI - Accessing powerbi iframe DOM object from application

Hi ,

 

I am using embedded powerbi into my application. Application manages its session time out based on the mouse clicks on the UI. When powerbi reports is embedded , we do not have control on the DOM document inside the embedded iframe. We need to get that control so that we can add event handling to take care of application session time outs ,etc. Basically, in my application, i am looking for a way by which I can access via javascript , the document html that is inside the embedded iframe of powerbi.

 

Thanks.

filtersApplied (Not supported yet)
	filters

dataSelected
	report: Report
	page: Page
	visual: Visual (Will be defined)
	filters: IFilter[]

    tileClicked
       Raised when end user clicks a tile. event properties are:
           tileId: id of clicked tile.
           reportEmbedUrl: Embed Url of the original report the tile created from (if any)
           pageName: name of the page the tile created from (if any)
           navigationUrl: Url which will be opened in powerbi.com if user clicks a tile.

    In you scenario, you should be able to handling the rendered(which will be triggered after user interaction when a report is fully rendered) or tileClicked event to take care of application session time outs. :smileyhappy:
