Getting started with Zentrix visuals

Install in seconds, bind two fields, and you're running. Below is everything you need to add a Zentrix visual to a report and understand how it handles your data — plus a link to each visual's own field guide, where every single setting is explained.

From AppSource to your canvas

1

Install from AppSource

In Power BI Desktop or the Power BI service, open a report, go to the Visualizations pane, choose “Get more visuals,” and search for the visual by name on Microsoft AppSource. Click Add — it appears in your Visualizations pane.

2

Add it to your canvas

Select the visual from the Visualizations pane to drop an empty instance onto your report canvas, then resize it. The Calendar Heatmap wants room for a full 53-week grid; the Network Graph wants room for the network to spread out; Sankey Pro wants width, because every extra stage is another column.

3

Bind your fields

The Calendar Heatmap needs a date field and a daily measure. The Network Graph needs a Source node and a Target node. Sankey Pro takes either a Source and a Destination, or two or more Stages columns it converts into a journey for you — with a Value measure to size the flows. Everything else (categories, ordering, icons, images, a comparison measure, tooltips) is optional and layers on top.

Format & read the insights

Pick a palette and match your theme — the Calendar Heatmap from the Format pane, the Network Graph and Sankey Pro from their own settings gear on the canvas. All three compute their insights inside the Power BI sandbox: no external calls, no telemetry, nothing leaves your tenant.
