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.
