Add the Dundas BI SharePoint Web Part
1. Overview
The Dundas BI SharePoint Web Part lets your SharePoint users view and interact with available dashboards and reports from your Dundas BI server.
You install the Web Part on your SharePoint server after Dundas BI has already been installed.
2. Launch the Deployment application
Start the Dundas BI Deployment application on your SharePoint server.
Locate or search for Dundas BI Deployment in the Start menu, which is installed by the Dundas.BI.Setup program.
You can also locate and run Dundas.BI.Deployment.Application.exe in the folder where it was installed on the disk.
3. Add the SharePoint Web Part
In the Deployment application's main screen, click Extras to see the available SharePoint options.
Click Add SharePoint Web Part to begin the installation.
3.1. Prerequisites
The installation checks for prerequisites before it can proceed further. If your system meets all of the prerequisites, simply click Next to continue.

Select the Deploy and Activate checkboxes for each SharePoint application you want to deploy the Web Part to, and then click Next.
3.3. Configure Web Part

If your Dundas BI instance is installed on the same server as SharePoint, using a Dundas BI URL like http://localhost:8000/ may work.

4. Add mobile support (optional)
When SharePoint is viewed by a phone or tablet it displays a mobile view. For the mobile view to work with the SharePoint Web Part, a new file has to be created and added to the SharePoint application.
Locate the App_Browsers folder of the SharePoint web application. The location will resemble C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\App_Browsers.
Create a new text document in this folder with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<browsers>
<browser refID="default">
