Embedding Reports and License

Nadia Lino

I've been creating reports for my team and now want to embed them in NXT. What is the proper license or version of Power BI to have to embed these reports and will others be able to view them in NXT without having a Power BI license?

@Nadia Lino
Power BI Pro license is a per user per month license, which is needed to create Power BI and view Power BI that you publish to Power BI service (cloud/web).

Power BI Premium license is a LOT more expensive, but may be worth it if you have a LOT of user that will be viewing the Power BI reports. With Premium, you only pay for “one” of such license and all user having access to the “workspace” where the Power BI report is published can see it.

As for how to embed them into RE NXT (or FE NXT), check this link out:

@Nadia Lino Thanks @Alex Wong for the licensing guidance. The documentation he shared is perfect but if you'd like a hand's on approach, there is a session at bbdevdays to teach users how to embed their Power BI reports into Blackbaud solutions: How to Display your Power BI Report inside Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® & Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT®
