Power BI Visuals from AppSource

Hi all, 

 

I have a use-case where a client in my org requires visuals from AppSource. Currently, installation of visuals in the PBI service environment is not enabled. 

 

What is the best way to allow this?

  • How does installing visuals work for a workspace? Or does it have to be installed globally using Organization visuals?
  • Is there a way to have visuals installed for a workspace instead of the entire organization?
  • In the future, the clint even wants paid visuals. Which is why I was looking for a way to install it on a workspace and have the visual be available for everyone who is a part of the workspace, without extra steps or installations. 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi sba_ur ,

    There are 2 ways to add custom visuals to the report.

    Per report - you just get custom visual within the report. It means no other reports will use that custom visual.

     

    The other option is to create organization visuals, which means you will be able to use these custom visuals in any report.

    This is done via admin portal > organizational visuals > add visual > from app source.
    Once added, when you are creating the report, you will see these custom visuals in visualizations selection.

     

     


    Currently, there is no way to limit custom visual on a workspace level.

    Cheers,
    Nemanja
