Power BI Embedded Event Handling - Storage & Analytics
I am developing a web application that embeds a Power BI report with 5 pages into an iframe. I would like to set up the Event Handlers to capture when a user selects a new page, clicks on a button, changes a slicer, and interacts with a visual. We will use that information to analyze how people are using the report.
The documentation covers how to handle a report event (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/handle-events) but not what to do with the data.
Are there best practices on storing and reporting on these events?
Hi JoyH ,
To store and analyze the data captured from the event handlers, you could consider using a data storage and analysis platform such as Azure Event Hubs, Azure Stream Analytics, or Azure Cosmos DB. These platforms can help you capture and store the event data, and then analyze it using tools like Power BI or Azure Machine Learning.
