Introduction to Embed Tile
Embed tiles allow you to incorporate data and visualizations from other tools and platforms into your dashboard.
For example, embedding interactive visualizations, videos, or other engaging content from Youtube can help keep users interested and engaged with the data and provide users with a comprehensive view to increase the liveliness of your dashboard.
Embed tiles allow you to make your dashboard a single pane of glass for visualizing telemetry data plus data from specific websites. This can help you to access all the relevant data in one place, which can save time and reduce the risk of errors.
