Power BI Embedded analytics and Power BI Playground research questions.

[Lorzor]

Hey folks, I'm currently doing some research on Power BI Playground and Power BI embedded analytics any pointers and links for the following topics would be really helpful.

• How much we can customize the portal where reports are embedded (does it support CSS, can we install other JavaScript Libraries, does it support standard HTML)
• How can we integrate the resulting web page into other webApps
• Can we build UIs outside of the embedded report which can interact with the report

Thanks in advance!

For your questions on Power BI Playground and Power BI embedded analytics:

1. Customizing the embedded report portal: Power BI supports limited customization options for the embedded report portal through the use of custom themes and custom JavaScript code. You can also include custom CSS, but you cannot install other JavaScript libraries. Custom HTML is not supported in embedded reports, but you can include iframes in reports to display custom HTML content.

2. Integrating the embedded report into other web apps: You can integrate Power BI embedded reports into other web applications using iframes or the Power BI JavaScript API. The JavaScript API provides full programmatic access to the Power BI report and allows you to interact with the report and customize its behavior.

3. Building UIs outside of the embedded report: Yes, you can build UIs outside of the embedded report that can interact with it. The Power BI JavaScript API provides methods for interacting with embedded reports, such as setting filters and retrieving data. You can use these methods to build custom UIs that interact with the report and provide a more customized user experience.
