ABSTRACT

• The project is to generate reports and dashboards for Application Tracking

System (ATS) using Microsoft Power BI tools and integrating them into the
application using the service principle (authentication).

• Microsoft has recently released a component for Angular which lets

developers to embed their Power BI reports, dashboards and more into
Angular web applications.

• It is required to embed the analytics and view it in the web app without the
user having to own a premium license account for Power BI.

1. INTRODUCTION

• The necessity of business intelligence tools becomes crucial to businesses of all

sizes that want to succeed in the data-driven world

• Power BI is the leading Business Intelligence tool with vast features to customize
the data visualization

• The organization’s product which is called Talent Recruit is an AI-driven

recruitment software that empowers organizations to discover, assess, engage &
hire top talent

• The product is developed using Angular and Microsoft Power BI tools to showcase
the analytics without the need to sign in or have a Power BI pro license

 3. PROBLEM DEFINITION
• HR departments of Organizations and companies need aggregated well-put numbers and
visualized transactions to easily work through tedious tasks in the hiring process.
• Information is required so as to efficiently coordinate and manage panel members and
candidates for interviews, job posting, job requirements, etc.
• Power BI user has following Typical Method’s limitations
Global administrator is needed to register each user in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
It demands a Power BI Pro license to be purchased in an Office 365 tenant for each user.
The master user authentication is done with a password, an authentication method that isn’t
aligned with Azure Active Directory best practices. Managing multiple master users and
associated password rotation can be challenging.

 4. SOLUTION STRATEGY
• Rich data visualization and embed for customer solution is to be implemented
• Get familiarized with the Power BI tools and build reports and dashboards
 Power BI Desktop
 Power BI services
 Power BI Playground
• Setting up an embedded environment
 Select authentication method.
 Service principal is the Azure AD recommended authorization method. If you're using a service
principal, you can authenticate using either an application secret or a certificate.
 Register an Azure AD application.
 Establish an identity for your app
• Embed in Angular using Power BI Client Angular component

7. IMPLEMENTION
Procedure For Data Creation In MySQL Database
1. Input :
account id, user id who is posting the jobs, the job title, no. Of candidates to create
2. Declare :
--integer variables for
loop counter with default value 1
Sequence id
Primary key check with sequence id
Engagement work flow-id
Storing random number btw 1-23 to select for stage transaction master id
-- Variables for inserting in candidate stage table
candidate id
Job id
Workflow stage id
Engagement workflow detail id
12
7. IMPLEMENTION [contd]
--Varchar variables for
transaction name

3. Set sequence id for job table name

if max value of job id == sequence id
if not
set max value of job id = sq_id
Update sequence id = sq_id+1
Set the variable for inserting in candidate satge table
4. Set sequence id for engagemtworkflow table
check if max value of engagement workflow id == sequence id
if not
set max vaue of engagement workflow id = sq_id
Update sequenceid = sq_id+1
Set the variable for inserting in candidate satge table

13
7. IMPLEMENTION [contd]
5. start loop to insert values
5.1 if i<num then leave loop
set sequence id for engagementworkflowdetail id table
check if max value of engagementworkflowdetail id is same as sequenceid
if not set max vaue of engagementworkflowdetail id to sq_id
update sequenceid with sq_id+1
set the variable for inserting in candidatesatge table
call rand function inside floor function to select a random stage id between 1 - 23
insert values in tables
talentproduct20211004.engagementworkflowdetail
talentproduct20211004.candidatestage
set i as i+1
iterate loop
end loop
14
7. IMPLEMENTION [contd]
• Embed analytics – Angular
 Power BI Angular component. This library is used to embed Power BI reports, dashboards, tiles, report visuals, Q&As,
and paginated reports in the Angular application for the users to access without authentication against Power BI.

Pseudo code for importing the 'PowerBIEmbedModule' inside the target module

1. Import the PowerBIEmbedModule module from the 'powerbi-client-angular’ component

import {PowerBIEmbedModule} from 'powerbi-client-angular’;
2. Declare the imported module in @ngModule class import section
@ngModule ({
imports[
…
PowerBIEmbedModule
]
… })

15
7. IMPLEMENTION [contd]
Pseudocode for embedding in application

1. Open tag <powerbi-report

2. Set tag attribute for [embedconfig] with parameters –
type: "report“
Report Id
Embed Url
Access Token
Token Type
Set cssClassName
3. Set Event handlers
['loaded', () => console.log('Report loaded');],
['rendered', () => console.log('Report rendered');],
['error', (event) => console.log(event.detail);]
4. Close Tag

 10. CONCLUSION

• Successfully created 21 reports and 4 Dashboards in Microsoft Power BI for 4 accounts

of Talentrecruit and test Embedded it in Angular application which is in development.

• The Reports and Dashboards added critical value to the product Talentrecruit and its
clients.

• The foremost difficulty was understanding what Power BI and its vast features can offer
and how to work with it. Since it’s a new implementation in the product, project was
started from scratch including its feasiblility
• Complying with the client’s requirements and bringing them live on the report canvas
required rigorous research and learning new methods which was successfully achieved

19
 11. LIMITATION AND FUTURE SCOPE
• Limitation of the Project

 Power BI even with vast customization options it still has defined visualizations that can only
be customized to an extent to the customer’s needs

• Future Scope of the Project

 As the project is an active and dynamic project of Talentrecruit and as long as it has clients it
needs continuous support and report generation for the Application tracking system.

 Power BI is a leading business intelligence tool that paves a career path in Data Analysis,
Business Analysis, etc.
