Q: Are there filter controls for the dashboards?
A: Yes, we have six filter widgets in the Bold BI designer: list box, combo box, range slider, date picker, period over period, and range navigation.
With the embedding use case, you can pass external filters for the dashboard directly using the Embedded SDK. For more details, please refer to the documentation available at this link.
Q: Can you dynamically change a web API data source?
A: We can use dashboard parameters to dynamically change a web API data source.

You can find the property management dashboard that I used for my demo under the sample dashboards we ship with the product.
In Bold BI On-Premises, you can find the sample dashboard in create dashboard.
In Bold BI Cloud, you can access it by clicking question mark icon (Explore option) and navigate to sample dashboards.
Q: How does embedding work?
A: You can find the workflow of how embedding works with Bold BI at the following link: Embedding SDK Workflow.
Basically, we provide a JavaScript library that allows you to load Bold BI dashboards within your application.
For allowing/authorizing the embedding of your Bold BI dashboard, you will be required to implement the authorization server that acts as a bridge between Bold BI and your app. In the webinar, we used the embed secret uniquely generated for your Bold BI server to validate and allow embedding.
Q: Can we use this in Blazor server apps?
A: Yes, you can use it in Blazor server apps.
Q: Are there code samples with .NET Core MVC?
A: Yes, you can access the embedding samples at the following links:
