A GitHub link has been provided to get the sample application, which demonstrates the rendering of dashboard available in your Bold BI server and followed by steps to create a new embedding application in the Django on your own.

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

2. You need to set the following properties in the models.py file as follows.

   RootUrl	Dashboard Server BI URL (ex: http://localhost:5000/bi, http://dashboard.syncfusion.com/bi)
   SiteIdentifier	For Bold BI Enterprise edition, it should be like site/site1. For Bold BI Cloud, it should be empty string.
   DashboardId	Provide the dashboard id of the dashboard that you want to embed here.
   UserEmail	UserEmail of the Admin in your Bold BI, which will be used to get the dashboards list.

How this sample works

1. Based on the provided embed details with the dashboard, authorize the server URL by calling the get embed details function (views.py/get_embed_details) call with the provided EmbedProperties values

   NOTE: Remove the CSRF Token from the headers, if your application does not have CSRF middleware (django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware).

   

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

3. In the models.py, change the dashboard Id of the respective dashboard that you want to embed.
