# PowerBI in Presentation

> Embed a Power BI report or dashboard in a PADS4 presentation using the token generated in Credential Manager.

Once you have a token ID for a Power BI report or dashboard, you can display the content on a PADS4 Viewer by pointing a **Web element** at a purpose-built URL.

## Before you begin

Make sure you have:

* Completed the [PowerBI in CTRL Center](/ctrl-centre/administration/power-bi-in-ctrl-center) step and copied the **token ID** for the report or dashboard.
* A PADS4 presentation open in Designer with a **Web element** you can configure.

## Build the Power BI URL

Use the following format:

```text theme={null}
<protocol>://<host>:<port>/PowerBI/<token id>
```

* **protocol** — `http` or `https`. Use `https` when the PADS4 Server has a valid public SSL certificate.
* **host** — DNS name or IP address of the **PADS4 Server**.
* **port** — optional. Include only if the PADS4 Server is not using the default HTTP/HTTPS ports.
* **token id** — the value generated in **Credential Manager** for the report or dashboard.

**Example**

```text theme={null}
https://test.pads4.com/PowerBI/fb7090-5904-4931-962e-a02c4af39
```

## Display the report or dashboard

1. In PADS4 Designer, place a **Web element** on the presentation page.
2. Set the element's URL to the value you built above.
3. Save the presentation and publish it to the target Viewer.

The Viewer will load the Power BI report or dashboard using the credentials associated with the token.

## Final checks

Before you rely on the integration in production, confirm:

* The **service principal** has been added to every Power BI **workspace** whose content you want to embed.
* The required **API permissions** are enabled in the Power BI admin **tenant settings**.
* The target **workspaces have a Power BI capacity** assigned, so reports don't show a warning banner or fail to display in the Viewer.

  Once these checks pass, PADS4 is fully integrated with Power BI and ready to display reports and dashboards on any Viewer.
