DashHub External content

The external content tile in DashHub supports embedding images, videos or content from external tools and websites such as PowerBI, Tableau, PI Vision, P&IDs, 3D CAD models, etc. into a dashboard.

In order to give system administrators strict control over which content is allowed to be embedded, a dedicated administration screen is available in ConfigHub. On this screen, administrators will be able to specify domains from which external content is allowed.

Note

When specifying allowed domains, the use of wildcards makes it easy to allow entire domains or subdomains.

  • The use of “*” in a URL allows any variation of the same URL, without extending the path (so “www.mydomain.com/* will allow the use of “www.mydomain.com/extension1” in an external content tile, but not “www.mydomain.com/extension1/extension2”).

  • The use of “**” in a URL allows any variation of the same URL, even with path extensions (so “www.mydomain.com/**” would allow “www.mydomain.com/extension1/extension2/...” to be used in an external content tile).
