Badge: Dash It Out

Category: Data, analytics & AI

How can our NGO user keep a close eye on how the EcoCraft players are doing? An operational dashboard, of course! 📊

We built out a Power BI report to surface our player and gameplay data from Dataverse using DirectQuery and visualisations. We then embedded the Power BI dashboard into our model-driven ‘Control Room’ app that the NGO user uses to control the gameplay. The user can use this to get a view of EcoCraft operations across the board.

The dashboard shows the current number of gaming sessions, session status, where in the world the players are, and information on any errors being logged.

[Full disclosure: we had intended to show a map of players around the world in the place where the EcoCraft logo is shown, but we couldn’t get the map visualisation working in our tenant. If we get time, we’ll try and fix it in time for the demo!]
