If you want to experience the full power of Zebra BI for Power BI visuals, you’re going to need to enter the license key to activate the Pro version.
Watch how to import and set up your Zebra BI visuals from the AppSource.
Import Zebra BI visuals from AppSource
The first step is to download Zebra BI add-ins from the official channel – The Appsource Store. When you open any report in Power BI Desktop you will see the Visualizations pane on the right side. Below all the visuals you will notice a three-dot icon (…) which will lead to the Appsource Store.
Click on the icon and select Get more Visuals.
An additional window will open, where you type in the “zebra” keyword in the search bar on the right. Currently, four Zebra BI visuals are available, with Zebra BI Tables 5.4 slowly being removed from our collection while Zebra BI 7.X is replacing its role.
Selecting one of the visuals will allow you to download the visual and a sample file to get acquainted with our visuals.
As you already know, you can download and use Zebra BI visuals for free but with limited access. If you don’t have the license key yet, you can sign up for a free 30-day Pro trial or simply purchase your license on our website. There are also various templates you can explore which include unlocked visuals so you can experience Zebra BI to its full potential.
Entering the license key
Once the visuals are downloaded from the Appsource Store, they will be visible in the Visualizations pane below the other visuals. When you initially select Zebra BI Tables and Zebra BI Charts you won’t have the option to enter the license key immediately, while Zebra BI Cards has the button included on the landing page.
Adding any field will trigger the visual to display a Zebra BI icon at the top right corner.
Clicking on the icon will open a window, where you click on the “Enter license key” button.
Paste the license key you received after purchasing the Pro version or subscribing for a free trial into the activation window and press “Confirm”
You will be informed about the activation and the expiration date of your license.
Important notice: In the trial period you can always enter a new license key in the visual, while the purchased license key can be replaced 30 days before the expiration date.
That’s it! You’re ready to start building your reports and dashboards with Zebra BI visuals. Learn more about what type of tables, charts, and cards you can use to create reports that are actionable and understandable.
