If you choose to sign a specific parameter value, that means the user can't modify that, nor is a filter widget displayed for that parameter. In general, when embedding a chart or dashboard, the server of your embedding application will need to sign a request for that resource. You could specify a specific productID when embedding the question. SQL based questions with template variables can also accept parameters for each variable. For example, if you have a dashboard with a filter on Publisher ID, this can be specified as a parameter when embedding, so that you could insert the dashboard filtered down to a specific Publisher ID. In dashboards, these are synonymous with dashboard filters. Some dashboards and questions have the ability to accept parameters. The charts and dashboards you will be embedding live in the Metabase application, and will be embedded in your application (i.e. Key Concepts ApplicationsĪn important distinction to keep in mind is the difference between Metabase and the embedding application. You can even pass parameters to these embeds to customize them for different users.
Metabase includes a powerful application embedding feature that allows you to embed your saved questions or dashboards in your own web applications.
