Bold BI Dashboards embedding in ColdFusion using Embedded SDK

A GitHub link has been provided to get the sample application, which demonstrates the rendering of a dashboard available on your Bold BI server. The next steps will guide you through creating a new embedding application in ColdFusion on your own.

NOTE: The best way to get started would be to read the Getting Started section of the documentation. The Getting Started guide provides you with enough information that you need to know before working on the sample.

How to run the sample

1. Please get the BoldBI ColdFusion Embed sample from the attached file.

2. You need to set the following properties in the BoldBIEmbed.html and embedDetails.cfc files as follows.

   

   

   ServerUrl	Dashboard Server BI URL (ex: http://localhost:5000/bi/site/site1, http://dashboard.syncfusion.com/bi/site/site1)
   DashboardID	Provide the dashboard id of the dashboard you want to embed here.Please refer below how to get the dashboard id.
   UserEmail	UserEmail of the Admin in your Bold BI, which will be used to get the dashboards list
   EmbedSecret	You can get your EmbedSecret key from embed tab by enablingEnable embedauthentication in Administration page as mentioned in next step.

3. You can retrieve your Embed Secret key from the administrator setting section. Please refer to the Embed Settings for further information.

4. Please run your ColdFusion application.

How this sample works

1. To authorize the server URL, call the GetEmbedDetails function as follows, based on the dashboardId provided in the BoldBIEmbed.html.

2. In the above authorization, generate the SignatureUrl using the provided EmbedSecret key and validate the embed details in Bold BI. Once the details are validated, the dashboard will start rendering.

3. In the BoldBIEmbed.html file, you can change the dashboard Id of the respective dashboard that you want to embed.
