Adaptive Cards

Adaptive Cards for Power BI is a simple concept that is designed to be easily implemented in existing Power BI solutions. It uses a Custom Visual that is a combination of both Card and Slicer utilising PowerBi's strengths in mixing and matching visual components. Templating is a new feature of Adaptive Cards and this is used to bind Power BI data by name to the Card. Find out how to use this visual at the Adaptive Cards Blog Article

ParaTaskCard

ParaTaskCard creates a task from your data. Tasks exist all around us, they are how systems interact with each other. A task is a way of describing an interaction. When we use a business intelligence system to gain an insight we need to act on that insight with a task. One of the fundamental requirements for task management is that the task should be available on as many platforms as are necessary for the completion of the business process. This Adaptive Card implementation is suitable for tight integration of Power BI and Teams using Power Automate. With this visual you can start with our pro-forma card and then tailor it to your requirements. The Card can be submitted to Power Automate for Task Management Processing. This is an ideal visual to use for integration with Teams. You can design a card that reflects you business process and easily assign it to this visual. Data is automatically collected and posted to your flow when the card is submitted. Add Active Business Intelligence to your systems with this flexible visual.

Current testing has used files in an Azure Storage Blob Container and pages on a website.Files are loaded and parsed, the BODY element is loaded into the visual everything above that is not used, so don't bother trying. CSS Styles within the page work as usual, so this is your primary option for styling. More details at ParaHTML Custom Visual Guidance

ParaTrim

Achieving Business Intelligence insights is often a matter of separating the signal from the noise. A well-worn technique for removing noise is to remove the outliers from a dataset, typically anythings outside two standard deviations. Personally, I always find outliers interesting and want to know what caused them. Finding outliers in Power BI is generally a visual affair and we have created the ParaTrim custom visual to help you with the task. This is an update for Version 2, we've made the visual a little easier to use and reduced the size.

ParaTimeLine
