My name is Michael Buckman, and today I just want to do a quick video on the COE dashboard. I've heard a lot of people talk recently about monitoring their Power Platform environments and what tools are out there for this.
Well, first off, the COE toolkit has a bunch of different tools to monitor your Power Platform environment. Today, I want to focus on the COE dashboard. The COE dashboard is a Power BI dashboard built by Microsoft to help manage your Power Platform environment. It helps you manage, nurture, and monitor your Power Platform environment, and there are a bunch of different reports that will help you do so. So, let's go take a look at it.
Okay, so I have the COE dashboard pulled up in Power BI Desktop, and you can see initially that we have three different areas that they've broken down the different reports in. We have Monitor, Govern or Manage, and Nurture. So, let's walk through some of these reports so that you can see the magnitude of what this dashboard covers.
We can overview Power Apps, and we can see all the different environments that we have, all the different makers, the top makers, who's making the most apps. We can see how many Canvas apps we have, how many Model-driven apps, custom pages, and where these people are even located — a really cool overview of our whole tenant for Power Platform.
The same thing goes for flows. Throughout this dashboard, you'll see anything you can do with apps, you can also do with flows. So, I'll just demonstrate apps for now to save us some time.
We can get an environment overview. We can see how many developer environments, production, and sandbox environments we have, when they were created, how many apps and flows we have in each of the environments, and again, we can see the creators of these environments.
Let's go into Govern or Manage. We can do an app risk assessment off of this report that they have built. We can see all of the different apps that we have, and if we click on one of these, we can drill through and get more detail on this app.
Now, this will also launch a Power App within this report. I can manage who has permissions to this app, I can email the maker, I can go directly to the app in the maker portal, or I can delete it. So, you have power even within this Power BI dashboard to actually take action on apps or flows.
If we go back, you might have noticed that we actually get a tooltip that gives us a score for how risky this app is and if we need to take action on this app. We then can drill through, and we can take action on that app — pretty cool. So, we have a lot of control even just within this Power BI dashboard.
Okay, so we only went through a few of these reports, but you can see all of the different reports that are on this Power BI dashboard. There are so many different tools within here that you can explore and utilize within your Power Platform tenant. You really have complete oversight over everything that's going on in your Power Platform tenant, and you can even take action within this Power BI dashboard if needed.
One part that I didn't dive into is the Nurture piece. We really do want to nurture our top makers or anybody who's really looking to get involved in our Power Platform journey in our organization, and there are plenty of reports that help us do that. I encourage you to explore those.
Thanks, everyone, for joining. I hope you enjoyed this, and I hope you learned a little something about this COE dashboard and its capabilities. Until next time.
