It’s convenient to have a clean and readable Power BI dashboard. You should be able to see all the important information at first glance. The question is, which steps do you need to take to accomplish that?

1. Less is more – avoid scroll bars on the dashboard, remove all non-essential data, and keep only important results.
2. Use full-screen mode – read your reports without distractions.
3. Accent the most important information – sometimes this is just a number, such as the number of opportunities, total revenue, etc.
4. Put the most important data in the top left corner. It’s natural for us to read from left to right, top to bottom.

Not sure how to customize your dashboard? 3 PRO provides consultations, education, and configuration for Power BI services!

Power BI Dashboard for Mobile Phones

It’s possible to customize your dashboard in the Power BI service for portrait mode on your mobile phone.

Natively, dashboard tiles are the same size, laid out one after another. In the edit view of the Power Bi service you can unpin, resize, and rearrange tiles to fit your phone.

Teams and Skype users can now communicate with each other through chats and calls, whether they use clients on the desktop, web, or mobile phone (Android and iOS).

It is recommended to have Skype 8.58, or a later version.

How To Start A Call?

Teams users can search for Skype users by typing their email in the search bar. Note that some Skype users choose not to appear in the search results.

Skype users also have to search for Teams users by email address. After that, the Teams user will get a notification that they need to accept before they can reply. If the Teams user accepts the conversation, both users can start to chat and call each other. But, if the Teams users selects the block option, all messages from that Skype user will be blocked.

Limitations

• @mentions, emojis and other types of rich formatting are not available
• There are no group chats; one-on-one only
• Users can not see each other’s presence
• Searching for Skype users by their ID or phone number is not supported

External Access Configuration

For new tenants, external access for this capability is turned on by default. For older tenants: if you’re unable to use this capability, 3 PRO can set the necessary parameters for you, that allow Teams users to communicate with Skype users. Contact us today!

The way we work has changed significantly in the last couple of months. The current situation in the world forced us to adopt to working from home. For a better experience, Microsoft developed a couple of new features for the Teams app: together mode, dynamic view, video filters, live reactions, and many more.

Online meetings are the new normal.

Dynamic View

Dynamic view provides a large gallery overview, through which the user can see up to 49 people simultaneously, and virtual breakout rooms which enable the splitting of meeting participants into smaller groups.

These features will be available in a month.

Together Mode

Something new, something different – thanks to AI, together mode places participants in a shared background, so you can feel more like you’re sitting in the same room with your colleagues. If you are working remotely, and your team needs to brainstorm a lot, this feature is appropriate. It will be generally available next month.

Video Filters

A great thing if you need to adjust light levels, or you want to blur your messy home office background.

Live Reactions

Reactions become a part of our lives in the world of social networks. They give us the freedom to show our emotions and attitude on others’ opinions and statements. In the Teams app, live reactions are designed to provide instant feedback to the presenter during the meeting:
