Embedding PS Cloud Analytics Dashboards in a Lightning Page

Some of the dashboards within PS Cloud Analytics have been optimized to be embedded in any page layout in Lightning. These dashboards are:

PS Cloud Analytics App

  • Total Project Margin (Workspace)
  • PSA Project Burnup Plus (Embedded)

Configuring the Dashboard Component

After the Analytics dashboard component is added to a new tab, you need to customize the component to display your data.

Finally, we recommend you apply the following settings to the CRM Analytics Dashboard component:

  • Deselect Show Sharing Icon
  • Deselect Show Title
  • [PSA Project Burnup Plus and Utilization Analytics (Embedded) dashboards only] Deselect Show Header. We recommend that you enable the header area of the embedded PSA Revenue Forecast dashboard, in order to display the date and time at which your dashboard data has been refreshed.
  • Select Open Links in New Window
  • Select Hide on Error
  • Select Disable open dashboard feature from the drop-down menu in Open Dashboard.

Saving and Activating Your Embedded Dashboard

To finish the embedding setup process, you must save and activate the Lightning Page:

  1. Click Save.
  2. Click Activate. You can now rename the copy of your app and select a different icon.
  3. Click Lightning Experience. From the duelling picklist, select the location in your org you want the app to appear.
  4. Click Save. You can now access your workspace and embedded app from your selected location.

Configuring Workspace Permissions

After creating your new workspace with your embedded dashboard, you must remove any permissions relating to the original workspace and then assign permission to the new workspace, using the appropriate permission sets.
