How to integrate MangoApps with Microsoft Power Bi?
Domain admins can now monitor activity and view data about their respective MangoApps domain by generating reports in the Admin Portal.
MangoApps integration with Power BI allows you to get a better insight into the data using the Business Analytics feature of Power BI. It provides interactive visualizations with self-service business intelligence capabilities, where users can create reports and dashboards, without having to depend on IT staff, database administrators or graphic designers.
The entire process of using Power BI to get insights is illustrated below.

By default, the generated reports are shared with all the domain admins, and they are notified every time a new report request is completed. Reports can be viewed, downloaded and shared like other excel documents with users inside and outside of MangoApps.
