How to Embed Power BI and Other External Tools in an App

To embed Power BI in an app, you add an embed block and paste the link or iframe. The same block handles videos, PDFs, text, and any other external tool that permits embedding.

Why bringing external tools inside matters

Most companies have at least one tool nobody is going to replace. The choice is whether people switch tabs to reach it.

Reporting living in one tool and operations in another
Context lost when users leave the app to check a figure
Training materials stored somewhere separate from the process
Documents downloaded rather than read in place

What the embed block can hold

Content	Typical use
Power BI	Existing corporate reporting shown inside the operational app
Video	Training or process explanation where the work happens
PDF	Reference documents read without downloading
Text and other tools	Any external source that allows embedding

How to configure it in Jestor

Add an embed block to the app in Jestor and paste a link or iframe.
Set the position — centred or aligned left.
Choose a transparent background so the block blends into the app, or pick a colour.
Add a border and choose rounded or square corners.
Decide whether to show the block title, and set its colour if you do.

Why choose Jestor for mixed-tool workspaces?

Jestor does not require you to abandon tools that already work. The embed block brings them into the operational app so people stop switching context, while the platform handles the process around them.

Square corners exist for layout reasons here too — they let an embedded panel sit flush against neighbouring blocks.
