Embedded Webpage widget

Important New setup of this feature is only supported in the latest UI. If you already have the Embedded Webpage widget downloaded in the old UI, you can continue to use it.

If you are an administrator, you can use the Embedded Webpage widget to embed a webpage on a dashboard by using an iframe.

Important Whether or not a third-party webpage can be embedded is determined by the security settings of the third party.

Note If you are using the Embedded Webpage widget in a dashboard to show asset views, you can't add more than one view of the same page to the dashboard. For example, you can't add two different views of a Global View to the same dashboard.
