Introduction
This feature allows you to display Power BI reports on your digital signage screens while automatically filtering them based on specific parameters (for example: region, period, or product).
Each screen will therefore display only the data that is relevant to it.
This feature is based on Power BI URL filters.
How It Works
When you embed a Power BI report into the digital signage application, you can define a Filter field.
This filter dynamically adjusts the report’s content depending on predefined metadata or parameters, such as the screen’s location, time period, or targeted product line.
Prerequisites
A Comeen license allows you to use our Power BI integration.
Ensure your PowerBI account is set up and integrated with Comeen. For detailed instructions, refer to the PowerBI account setup guide.

(Coming soon) 3. Use Screen Metadata
The metadata for a screen will soon be usable in the filter field of the PowerBI slide.
You can use metadata associated with each screen (for example: region, product, or site ID).
This metadata automatically filters the Power BI report depending on where it’s displayed.
Example:
On your screen, add the Metadata:
On the filter field add the metadata:
Once configured, each screen will automatically display a filtered version of the Power BI report based on its metadata.
You no longer need to create multiple versions of the same report!
