iObeya User Guide Editing Board Content

Web content

iObeya allows you to add external content directly in your boards.

Add a preview to an online Excel file, your website, a Youtube video or use PowerBI to embed content in your board.

Our team assure you that you can add web content from the following websites:

  • Microsoft Documents (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) from Sharepoint Online,
  • Microsoft PowerBI Dashboard with the appropriate PowerBI licence,
  • Google documents (Doc, Spreadsheet, Slide) from Google Drive,
  • Youtube videos,
  • iobeya.com (e.g iObeya cloud platforms, resource center).

Note

Other web content might not work depending on your organisation’s or the website’s policy.

Adding Web content

  1. Add the Web content tool to your dock before using it.

    Tip

    See this section for more information: Adding New Tools.

  2. Click Web content in your dock.

  3. Drag and drop to your board.

  4. Enter an embedded code.

    Note

    Retrieve this embedded code from the sharing button of the target website.

    The embedded code has to be an iframe. It contains <iframe> and </iframe> in the code.

  5. Click Save.

Limitations to web content visualization

Some contents may not appear on your board for various reasons:

  • The content is protected and you need to be connected to the website to visualize it in iObeya.

    If you connect to iObeya using the same SSO as the one used to connect to your web content, you do not have to connect to the target website.

  • Cookies are essential for the Web content tool to display content.

    If the cookies are blocked you will not be able to visualize your content. Cookies can be blocked for several reasons:

    • your organisation blocked the use of cookies,
    • you are using the private navigation,
    • you are using an navigator add-on that block cookies.
