Permissions: You will need the "Login - Customer Insights", "Login - Web application", "User settings - personal access tokens" with access to assets and drivers to use this feature. 

In addition to the MiX Insights embedded Dashboard, you can use the PowerBI tool to create your own dashboards for specialized visual data insights.

This gives you the option to use PowerBI to use the same data source behind MiX Insights Dashboard to connect to your own in-house BI tools and publish it in your organization. 

More tools will be added in future but for now, only PowerBI is supported. 

This implementation should not be confused with the MiX Insight Agility feature and is therefore not aimed at basic user skill sets. Here you will learn how to expose an API endpoint within a PowerBI template. 

Please note that this function is intended for customer use only and is not meant for internal use where a MiX Telematics staff member may have access to more than one organization.  Because the personal access token is the same as the specific user's login credentials, all requests from MiX Telematics staff on behalf of a customer will be denied for data security reasons. 

Create a personal access token

Please note that you will require the User settings - Personal access tokens permission to access this page. Only organization-level users will have access to this permission, meaning site-level users will not be able to request the personal access tokens. 

• Click Manage.
• Under User settings, click Personal access tokens. 

Users with access to one database follow this path:

• Enter a mandatory description, e.g. Driver Safety BI tool token.
• Select an expiry date for your token by clicking the calendar icon. The default expiry date is 6 months, but a maximum of 12 months can be selected. 
• Click on the text "I agree to the terms and conditions" to read this.
• Click the checkbox next to the terms and conditions to agree. 
• Click Retrieve token. 
• You will receive a confirmation message that you have successfully added a new personal access token.
• Copy the token now! Do not close the window before you have copied the token.
• Your token is an encrypted string similar to your user account credentials. You have to copy the characters and paste this somewhere save. Use the copy icon and paste this into a protected notepad or password-encrypted Word document.
• Warning - Make sure you copy the above token NOW before clicking on Close below. We do not store it and you will not be able to see it again.

• Click Close when you are done. The status of the token is now active but for security reasons, you will not be able to view it in MiX Fleet Manager again. 

Users with access to multiple databases within their organization follow this path:

Please note that this only applies to users with multiple access in their specific company. Users with access to multiple customer databases will not be able to request multiple tokens. 

• Enter a mandatory description, e.g. Driver Safety BI tool token.
• Select your organization by clicking the Select organizations button or expanding the tree view (click the +) if you have access to more than one organization and select the organization from the tree. 

• Select an expiry date for your token by clicking the calendar icon. The default expiry date is 6 months, but a maximum of 12 months can be selected. 
• Click on the text "I agree to the terms and conditions" to read this.
• Click the checkbox next to the terms and conditions to agree. 
• Click Request approval. 

You will get a confirmation that your request has been submitted for approval. 

Retrieve token

If you do not claim your token within 7 days you will need to request it again. 

Once your approval request has been approved you will receive an email in the next 48 hours.  Click the button in the email to retrieve your token. 

• You can now click on the status, Approved retrieve token text to view your personal access token. 
• Copy the token now! Do not close the window before you have copied the token.
• Your token is an encrypted string similar to your user account credentials. You have to copy the characters and paste this somewhere save. Use the copy icon and paste this into a protected notepad or password-encrypted Word document.
• Warning - Make sure you copy the above token NOW before clicking on Close below. We do not store it and you will not be able to see it again.
