>> Once you've built a dashboard
with tiles from reports
and Q&A,
you can do some customizing
of the tiles.
To do this,
hover over the tile
and click the ellipsis.
There will be a Pencil icon
that lets you
edit the tile details.
Here you can do things
like editing the tile,
the tile's title
and also the subtitle.
You can also do things such as
displaying the last refresh time
as part of the tile's subtitle.
Additionally,
you can make a tile
point to a website
instead of the report.
To do this,
you select Set Custom Link
and add any kind of
HTTP or HTTPS URL.
In this case
I'll make this logo
point to the Power BI homepage.
You can also choose here
to either have it open
in the same tab
or a different tab.
I'll hit Apply
and when I click on the tile,
you'll see the Power BI homepage
pop up in a new tab.
We've seen a lot of users
use this method to use
a dashboard as a homepage
which then can point
to a bunch of different assets.
You could also do things
to customize your dashboard
such as add widgets.
A widget is a special tile
that instead of pointing
to one of your Power BI assets,
can point to other things
such as images on the web,
a video on YouTube
or a Rich content from the web
using embed code.
In our case,
I'm going to add a text box.
Once you click Add
the tile is created
and you see
a lot of the same things
that you see on a normal tile
such as the title and subtitle,
but you also see the content.
So this is the text box,
I see a rich-text editor
so then I can type
out the message
such as,
"Our revenue
was high
March
through June."
Once I type down the message,
I can do things
like make it bold,
center it, change the font,
and also the font size.
Then when I'm all done,
I hit Apply.
Now this acts just as
any other tile,
I can resize it
and also drag it around.
Using widgets
in the tile's details,
you can create any kind of
dashboard you want,
customizing it however
you see fit for your company.
