10.  Video Embed Option into your dashboard
11.  Public Web Embed Option (Ability to embed your live visual inside a web page) – see examples of what iGrid has done: http://tnceo.gov.in/en-in/SitePages/PastElection.aspx - it has 2 links, which has Power BI Dashboards to show election results
12.  Sharing your Dashboard with your customers or partners
13.  Exporting content out of a visual as CSV – for further analysis
14.  Setting alerts on data values on Mobile Apps – for instance, when profitability comes down, your mobile app can immediately alert you and you can take a quick action based on that
