# External Links & Dashboards

## 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.

## Adding a Link

To start setting up your own links, go to Reports > External Links and Dashboards, and then click **Add Link**

From here, you have two options:

1. Manually add a link using the **Paste link here** and **Add a title** boxes

1. Click **Browse on Power BI** to add a link from your existing Power BI account

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.

## Preview / Add to Favourites / Delete

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.
