SOP: Autodesk Sitemetric Partner Card
Steps to generate a public dashboard URL and embed Sitemetric reports in BIM 360
Overview
This SOP outlines the process for setting up the Autodesk BIM 360 Partner Card integration, which allows customers to embed Sitemetric reports and dashboards directly into their BIM 360 Project Home screen.
Getting Started
Step 1: Contact the Customer
Reach out to the customer to determine which dashboard or report they would like to embed in their Autodesk BIM360 dashboard.
Good to know: Multiple dashboards can be embedded if the customer desires.
Step 2: Identify Available Reports
Michael/the reporting team can provide a complete list of available dashboards. A good starting point is any dashboards already available in the app under the Reports section.
Step 3: Generate the Public URL
Once the customer decides which dashboards to embed, the reporting team will create and share the public URL for that report.
Example URL format:
`https://redash.sitemetric.com/public/dashboards/YjGVK1cjIaN8fOhxPo4J6WfI707fSXuK6jkXT7eL`
⚠️ Important: Provide this URL to the customer—they will need it during the configuration process outlined below.
