Metric | Power BI Custom Visuals

Functionality

Data

Series reduces to a single value. As with standard card visual, Power BI standard functionality allows user to select aggregation type (min, max, avg, sum etc.). User cannot select to display most recent value, as with standard KPI visual. This is a possible future enhancement of this visual.

Filtering

Metric should filter in the same way as the card visual: filters placed on other charts should affect the number displayed in Metric visual.

If the user changes filtering behaviour, e.g. by selecting no filtering within edit interactions, the Metric should conform to the user selection.

Licence

The licence can only be sold via Microsoft AppSource marketplace: Viz Data does not sell direct.

Licenses are offered as monthly subscriptions: there are not currently annual payment options or one-off purchases. Contact us if you have a specific need.

A licence is required to use Metric when viewing a report. Editing Metric is free. Viewing works in Unsupported Environments where we suspend license checks to ensure unrestricted access. However, legally, we still request that you buy a license for those viewing in these environments.

Embedded - Publish To Web, PaaS embed
National/Regional clouds
RS Server (No planned support)
Exporting (PDF\PPT) using REST API

Metric visual works in both Desktop and Service. Since Desktop is constantly in Edit mode, Metric will always work there. License checks are initiated in Service within View Mode.

Purchases can only be made in Microsoft tax remitted countries to deploy in any Azure region. The list of tax remitted countries can be seen here.

Only the license buyer (owner) can assign licenses. If you are buying for other people, ensure you have the correct admin rights to manage the licenses you buy.

Upgrades, rights and refunds

You can get a full refund if you change your mind within 7 days.

You (or your organisation admin) can assign licenses to other regions as long as they are within the same tenant.

AppSource custom visuals will be automatically upgraded under the same license when a visual is updated by us.

Standard Power BI functionality

Power BI has automatic support to make visuals full screen & allow them to be deleted. These should all work as for standard visuals.

Selection

Users cannot select Metric visual or use it for filtering: if they click on it, nothing will happen.

Hover

On hover, there is an optional tooltip that can display information entered into the formatting pane.

Resize

Metric visual should always be full size, and this should happen immediately on resize of visual or viewport.
