What are custom visuals?

Custom visuals are components that extend the visualization capabilities of Power BI. They provide advanced features not available in built-in visuals.

Pros and Cons of Custom Visuals

Are the OKVIZ visuals certified?

Free OKVIZ visuals are certified by Microsoft and available on AppSource.

Paid OKVIZ visuals purchased from our website are not certified because they need to connect to our licensing system to verify the licenses, but we usually also offer certified visuals on AppSource with some limitations.

What are the limitations of a visual that it is not certified?

A few features are only available with certified custom visuals, like exporting to PowerPoint and displaying the custom visual in emails received as part of a user subscription to a report page.

Can I embed a report with an OKVIZ visual in SharePoint?

Yes, you can embed Power BI reports that include OKVIZ visuals in SharePoint, within the licensing terms of your subscription.

Can I share a report that uses an OKVIZ visual on a public website?

Yes, you can publicly share Power BI reports that include OKVIZ visuals, if the report is freely accessible and hosted on powerbi.com. Only the Power BI users using the report must be licensed. You do not need a license for users using a public report.

What is the advantage of using the Organizational Visuals store for the licensed visuals?

Once you install the visual in the Organizational Visuals store (Org Store), all the users within the company can use the licensed visuals without entering a license key. Moreover, any update made to the visual in the Organizational Custom Visuals repository automatically updates the visuals in all the reports using it.
