Embedded Access – QBeeQ

In many embedded experiences, Sisense's top navigation bar is hidden from end users, which means there is no way to reach Report Studio. Some customers still want to give their designers access to Report Studio even in an embedded context. To support this use case, Report Studio can now be launched directly from the dashboard itself instead of relying on the top navigation bar.

💡

Alternative access to the Report Studio isn’t limited to embedded experiences and can be enabled even when dashboards are not embedded.

Before you start

The navigation items (icon and three-dot menu) are displayed in the dashboard toolbar. The toolbar must be visible when the dashboard is embedded.

Navigate to the dashboard three-dot menu > Embed code

Select Show toolbar and save

ℹ️

If your embedded implementation doesn't expose the dashboard toolbar, reach out to support@qbeeq.io and we can help figure out a solution for your use case.

Configuration

The Report Studio uses a config.js file for embedded access. This file controls the global behavior across your entire Sisense instance.

To locate this file:

Go to the Admin tab > App Configurations > File Management

Continue to the plugins folder > QBeeQReportStudio folder > select the config.js file

You can edit the file's code directly in the user interface.

Toolbar icon

Unlike the Dashboard Toolbar icons, the Report Studio icon is not currently configurable and cannot be replaced or restyled.

An icon is displayed on the dashboard toolbar. When clicked, the Report Studio opens directly from the dashboard.
