Embedded Report

An Embedded Report in Zoho Analytics is a report or dashboard integrated into an external website, web application, or intranet portal using an HTML iframe

Technical Term

Embedding is the standard method for adding analytics capabilities to portals, SaaS applications, and intranets. Zoho Analytics handles the query execution and rendering; the host application just displays the iframe.

How Embedded Report Works in Zoho Analytics

An Embedded Report in Zoho Analytics is a report or dashboard integrated into an external website, web application, or intranet portal using an HTML iframe snippet, allowing end users to view analytics within their existing tools without a Zoho login.

When to Use Embedded Report

Use Embedded Report when your reporting requirements go beyond what built-in defaults provide. This feature is most valuable for organisations that have moved past basic data viewing and need precise control over how their data is organised, queried, or presented. Teams working with multiple data sources, varied user groups, or complex business logic will find this capability central to their Zoho Analytics setup.

Key Considerations for Embedded Report

Before configuring Embedded Report, ensure that the underlying data tables are clean and consistently structured. Irregular naming conventions, mixed data types in a single column, or missing values can produce unexpected results. For shared environments, coordinate with your Workspace Administrator before making changes that affect reports used by other team members. Testing on a duplicate report before applying changes to production dashboards is a sound practice.

India Example: A B2B software company in India embeds Zoho Analytics dashboards inside their customer portal. Each customer logs into the portal and sees an embedded dashboard filtered to their own data. The portal authenticates users and passes their customer ID to the Zoho embed URL.
What is an Embedded Report in Zoho Analytics?

An Embedded Report is a Zoho Analytics report or dashboard published inside a third-party web page using an iframe embed code. Zoho Analytics generates the embed snippet from the report’s sharing settings. Viewers see the report within the external application without needing a Zoho account.

Can I control what data a user sees in an Embedded Report in Zoho Analytics?

Yes. Zoho Analytics supports user-based data filtering for embedded reports. You can pass user context variables (such as user ID or department) to the embed URL so the embedded report automatically filters to show only data relevant to the logged-in user of the external application.
