How to use Power BI app with Pickcel?

The standalone Power BI app is a dedicated Pickcel app for displaying Power BI reports. It connects directly to your Power BI workspace and supports automatic page rotation, making it ideal for real-time dashboards and reports.

Looking for another way? If you need more control over authentication methods or your device is a BrightSign player, use the Dashboard app (Power BI method) instead, which supports server-side login and works across all device types.

Search for Power BI

Click Create App

Enter app name

After successful authentication, you will see the groups in your Power BI account. Give a suitable name to your app.

Select workspace group

Make sure to add your reports in a custom or new workspace. Pickcel cannot access reports from “My workspace”.
