Article summary

Introduction

External Links & Dashboards allows you to add your own links to reports and dashboards from outside of joblogic. It can also be integrated with PowerBI, so you can have all your reporting in one place.

This guide will show you how to add the links and then how to view them.

Permissions

The External Links & Dashboards feature is permission based and can be restricted to individual users as required.

To do this, go to Settings > Staff > name > Search External links

You can choose to Grant/Deny the permissions for Add and View accordingly.

You will need to firstly sign in, and then you’ll be able to browse through your reports and dashboards from your Power BI account.

Use the search filters if required, and then tick the reports you’d like to add to joblogic.

If you add a new link and it already exists (i.e. the 'link title' and 'link URL' already exists in the list), then the system will show the following warning, to help stop duplicate links.

Once you have added your links, the main page will include the Title you gave the item, or the title from Power BI.
It will also show you the Source and Link Type, both of which can be filtered on too.
