How to enable Power BI widgets in DatabeatOMNI

Prerequisite:

DatabeatOMNI account and a user with the Super User role.
Additionally, you must have the ability to approve Microsoft 365 enterprise application permissions as a global administrator or in a similar role.
If you do not have the required access your organization might allow you to request the permission. If not you will have to contact your company's Microsoft 365 Administrator.

Step-by-step guide:

1. Log into DatabeatOMNI with your Microsoft 365 account.

If you are not allowed to do this then ask your IT department to allow login via third party applications for secure authentication. Read more about O365 secure login here.

2. Ensure you have OMNIplay Pro in the bottom left corner.

The Power BI widget is only available in Screen Designer which is available to OMNIplay Pro accounts and Demo accounts.

Check out this article if you are on a Demo account.
If your account is a Demo account you need to select to view DatabeatOMNI as a OMNIplay Pro user. You can select Pro in the bottom left corner and then select to view as the advanced interface that gives access to more advanced features like the Power BI widget.

If you have purchased a lesser license than Pro you need to upgrade. Please contact your reseller or go to OMNIstore to order OMNIplay Pro licenses.
