A dashboard is only part of the Power BI online service and not the Power BI desktop. Hence, adding a text box/title to a dashboard can only be done in the Power BI online service. Adding web content is a part of tile features/widgets in dashboards. Web content can help add the HTML code, into it, so that we could view the websites, in the Power BI online service itself. In this article, we will learn how to add web content to the dashboard.
Adding Title to Dashboard in PowerBI
We are given a workspace name, geeks_for_geeks. In a dashboard name, gfg_dashboard our task is to add a title for the Power BI dashboard.
The following are the steps:
Step 1: Go to your workspace. Click on the dashboard in which you want to add a title/text box. For example, gfg_dashboard.
Step 2: A dashboard is opened. Click on the Edit button. A drop-down list appears. Select +Add a tile option.
Step 3: A new window name, Add a tile is opened, on the right side of the page. Click on the text box option. Click on the Next button.
Step 4: A blank image is added to the dashboard, which corresponds to the space provided in the text box. Now, a new window name, Add textbox tile, is opened on the right side of the dashboard window. Our next task is to add a suitable title, description of the text box/title, and hyperlink(if required) to the image.
Step 5: Under the Title section, we are adding a title, name, geeks_for_geeks title. We can also view, that the title provided is added to the image itself, i.e. the space provided for the text box.
Step 6: Now, we need to add the content for the text box or title. For example, “Go to the home page of geeks for geeks”, is added to the content. The content has also been formatted, with the text size increased to 20, and the color changed to green. We can also view in the image, that the content preview has been updated in the image.
Step 7: If we want to set up a hyperlink, check the Set custom link option. A hyperlink means that, whenever a user clicks on the image, it leads the user to some other URL. For example, I have added the link to the home page of gfg.
Step 8: At last, we have two radio buttons, which ask us, whether to open the hyperlink added, in a new tab, or in the same tab. Select, No to open the link in a new tab. Click on the Apply button.
Step 9: The text box/title has successfully been added to the dashboard. Rearrange the dashboard elements accordingly.
Note: You might be confused that, how can we use, the hyperlink which we had set in the previous step. Click on the outer part of the image, like near the title, or the white space provided. Remember, hyperlink won’t work when you, are in the region of content of the text box.
Step 10: The home page of geeks for geeks is opened, in a new tab.
