Flexera One’s SaaS Management solution now offers Microsoft Power BI extensible reporting to show new views in to SaaS spend and usage across your organization.
The report, which uses the SaaS Management APIs, has been developed in partnership with our customers and product team to ensure that it provides the insights that enable improved governance and license management processes.
In addition, the Microsoft Power BI report offers a mechanism to provide insights into SaaS applications to those within your organization who do not use Flexera One's SaaS Management.
Power BI Report Setup
The report, which is attached to this article as a Power BI Template (PBIT), can be easily configured by providing:
- A refresh token obtained from your Flexera One org. Details on how to generate a refresh token to work with the Flexera One API can be found in the Flexera One Help topic Generating a Refresh Token.
- The location of your Flexera One org using the following options: North America (NA), Europe (EU), or APAC (AU).
- Your Flexera One Org ID, which is a numeric identifier contained within the URL of your org.

This has been added to allow you to be able to quickly load the report into the desktop designer. Setting this option to "Yes" will only import the first page of users. When you publish the report to the Power BI service, you can change this parameter to "No" and all users within your ServiceNow instance will be imported.
