Embedding a dashboard component in a webpage or Visio drawing

To embed individual dashboard components in a Visio drawing or a web page:

1. In the Dashboards app, open the dashboard that contains the component you want to embed.

2. Click the Start editing button in the top-right corner.

3. Right-click the component and select Copy embed URL.

4. Use the URL of the component in either a Visio page (see Linking a shape to a dashboard component) or a web page (e.g. in an <img> tag).

   A component URL has the following syntax:

   http://<DMA>/embed?component=<SERIALIZED-COMPONENT>
   

   Note

   • "SERIALIZED-COMPONENT" is a serialized representation of the component in JSON format.
   • If the component contains data, that data will automatically be included into the URL. See URL data.
   • An embedded dashboard component is sometimes called a "volatile dashboard", as a temporary dashboard is generated to render the component.
