DataScaphe Uplink
Datascaphe Uplink is a tool to display your analyses directly as popups in any web page.
You will find here all the information to get started, manage, and optimize your reports.
Requirements
To be able to display your first report, a few requirements must be met. You would need:
- An account on Datascaphe Uplink with a work email
- At least one Power BI Pro account (or Premium Per User)
- An Azure tenant configured with the domain you use for email accounts
- A Chromium-based web browser with the Datascaphe Uplink extension installed (Chrome, Edge, Brave...)
3 steps to use your reports as smart popups
We recommend going through the Onboarding Flow that display after signing-up.
1. Create and publish a dedicated Power BI report
Although any Power BI report can be used with DataScaphe Uplink, we strongly recommend preparing specific reports for performance and management reasons.
The reports need to be published in a shared workspace; reports published in a personal workspace will not work.
See best practices for your Power BI report for tips to design your report.
2. Configure DataScaphe back-end
General configuration
Once the Power BI report is published on the Power BI service, you can link it in DataScaphe Uplink. The onboarding process will guide you through the configuration of this first report. The process of report linking is described here: Link your Power BI Report. Otherwise, you can link a new one in the Dashboard/Report area of the backend.
If it is the first report for the organization, it will automatically be assigned to you.
You can assign it to other users in the Dashboard/User Management page.
Scanner metadata
To make the report work with Uplink, you need to define the Scanner Metadata for each report.
3. Install the DataScaphe Uplink web extension
Install and configure the Datascaphe Uplink extension available on the Chrome Web Store.
Open the options page of the extension and provide your account (email), your organization code (available in Dashboard/Organization of the backend) and click Save.
Log in using the extension popup.
