Embed Content Component

The Embed Content component allows you to load external web pages by copying and pasting an iframe tag. HTML Iframes are useful for inserting external content (such as images, videos, media, and so on) onto the dashboard. An iframe creates a wall between the host website and the third party as they do not have access to each other.

Dashboard views are available in DesignStudio Pro. Contact your Client Success Manager (CSM) for additional information.

The Email component is found in the Embed section of the Components tray.

In the following graphic, a map from Windy.com is embedded as an iframe.

Embed Content Example
