SharePoint: Copilot Live Dashboards

Key insights

• Live HTML dashboards: Copilot now creates interactive dashboards that render as HTML on SharePoint pages and refresh automatically from the source data when a user opens the page.
  These dashboards show charts, KPIs, filters, and summary views without exporting or rebuilding reports.
• SharePoint lists, Excel, CSV: You can point Copilot at a SharePoint list, an Excel workbook, or a CSV file and it will generate a connected dashboard from that source.
  This keeps visuals tied to the original data and reduces manual updates.
• Always up to date: Dashboards remain linked to their data sources and refresh on open, so stakeholders see current information without repeated exports.
  This saves time and lowers the chance of using stale reports.
• Button web part: SharePoint pages can include a button web part that runs a predefined Copilot prompt with one click, letting users trigger actions or generate fresh views directly from the page.
  This moves pages from passive content to action-oriented tools.
• Live, data-linked: The approach shifts SharePoint from snapshot reporting to live, data-linked experiences that combine report generation with page interactions.
  Users can describe the dashboard in plain language and Copilot generates the interactive view for them.
• Microsoft 365 Copilot: These AI-powered features require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to use and are ideal for project status, inventory tracking, request pipelines, recruitment, and escalation dashboards.
  Plan licensing and data sources before rolling out dashboards to teams.
