Why are some objects not being displayed in my Dashboard?
In the event that an object is not rendering in your Power BI Dashboard, please review if your reporting makes use of the UNICHAR function (including non-text characters such as symbols inside visuals). We have found in some instances that combining the UNICHAR function with New card visuals can result in objects not rendering correctly (or at all), therefore we advise against using the UNICHAR function in your Power BI reports/dashboard.
If you require the use of the UNICHAR function, please consider swapping out your objects for an image or a block shape.
Can I have a sync frequency faster than 5 mins?
We now supply the option to sync Data Integrations instances every 1 minute. This is an optional paid upgrade for the Data Integrations application, which you can acquire by getting in touch with our commercial team or your vendor/reseller.
What fonts are supported within Dashboards and Reports?
Dashboards and Reports are rendered on Linux using standard font packs and web fonts. As such, any fonts not available on Linux or web fonts with proprietary licences are not supported.
What type of Power BI user account is needed to integrate with Signagelive, and what permissions are required?
Signagelive's Power BI Integration can be configured by a standard Power BI user account (with a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User license and access to the relevant reports and dashboards) or an Azure AD Service Principal.
This account needs to grant consent to the Signagelive application for the following permissions (scopes) during the initial connection:
openid: Allows Signagelive to obtain basic identity information about the user authenticating.offline_access: Enables Signagelive to obtain a refresh token, allowing it to maintain the connection to Power BI without requiring the user to re-authenticate frequently.email: Grants permission to access the user's email address (may be used for informational purposes or auditing).profile: Allows Signagelive to access the user's basic profile information.https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api/Report.Read.All: Essential: Permits Signagelive to read all Power BI reports that the authorizing user has access to.
