Applies to Product - Power Pages
What’s happening?
Customers have questions regarding the capabilities of Power Pages, specifically about PDF preview with external links, autocompletion for input forms, and the total cost for using Power Pages with authenticated users and Power BI Embedded.
Reason:
The inquiries stem from a need for clarification on the features and pricing structure of Power Pages and Power BI Embedded.
Resolution:
- PDF Preview with External Links: Yes, Power Pages allows for the preview of PDF files that include external links. This enables users to provide interactive documents directly within the Power Pages environment.
- Autocompletion for Input Forms: Power Pages does not natively support an Algolia-like autocomplete feature directly. However, integration of JavaScript libraries such as Algolia’s Autocomplete.js can be implemented to create a custom autocomplete experience. This requires custom coding and potentially pulling data from an external data source or service that provides search-like behavior. Additionally, Dataverse or external databases can be used to prepopulate dropdowns or lookup fields, but achieving a more sophisticated search with dynamic results would necessitate development work, possibly using JavaScript to make API calls to the external search service.
- Total Cost for Using Power Pages (Authenticated Users) + Power BI Embedded: The pricing for using Power Pages with authenticated users and Power BI Embedded varies based on specific needs. Generally, the pricing for authenticated users is structured in tiers. For example, Tier 1 costs $200 per pack per month with a minimum of 100 users per pack.
