Overview

Last published : Oct 15, 2026
Arctera Surveillance provides predefined Power BI templates that consume Reporting API endpoints to view interactive reports. Power BI templates are pre-defined, reusable report designs or blueprints created within Power BI for analytics purposes. These templates serve as starting points for creating consistent and visually appealing reports and dashboards.
All control elements within the Power BI report are interactive, allowing for clicking to filter, highlight, and drill-down into the report. When any element of the report is clicked, all other graphs, tiles, and more, dynamically update to display data relevant to the clicked element. The clickable elements encompass a variety of components, including (but not limited to):
  • Filters (for example, Departments lists)
  • Check boxes
  • Tiles
  • Data bars/columns on charts
  • Data labels on charts
  • Axis labels on charts
Prerequisite
Before you begin working with the Power BI Templates in Arctera Surveillance, ensure that you have the Microsoft Power BI desktop application installed on your computer.
