Problem Statement : 
There is an increasing demand from one of our key regional customers to embed third-party dashboards and visualizations - such as those from Power BI or similar platforms - directly within the CDF Canvas environment. However, the current platform limitations prevent the embedding of third-party visual content via external URLs. At present, the only available workaround is to provide users with a hyperlink that redirects them to the external site, which disrupts the user experience and limits seamless integration.

The Ask:
Enable functionality within CDF Canvas that allows users to dynamically load and render third-party content - such as dashboards or visualizations - using API calls or embedded URLs. This enhancement aims to provide a seamless, integrated user experience without requiring redirection to external sites.

Benefits:
Enabling embedded third-party content within CDF positions the platform as a centralized hub for accessing high-level metrics and dashboards. Users - ranging from operational SMEs to upper management and key stakeholders - can view critical insights without navigating away from the platform. This enhancement is expected to drive increased monthly active users (MAU) across a broader range of roles, reinforcing CDF as the go-to interface for decision-making and operational visibility.

 

 

I fully support this. By allowing the different companies to link in their preferred dashboarding tool (PowerBI, Grafana, Spotfire, PIVison,...) in Canvas you can take advantage of any premade dashboard in your investigation.
