Wouldn't it be graet to be if we cuuld at least place key figres as tiles at phones, tablets and in Windows 8/10?
In my view, this would give a great selling point to our tile basecd OS on phones, tablets etc, if we could connect tiles to our BI data, and have these tiles automatically updated.
Now with app folders, it could be great to have to opportunity to open an app folder, and be able to se key figures, colored in red and green. Just like we in MSN Money app can tile stock prices to tiles, and have a fast overview of wheter the stock price of Microsoft is still in green.
With such a feature, I am sure my Microsoft stock tile will keep green for a long time :-)

Great suggestion! We're already working on mobile solutions for iOS devices, and will build out apps for other platforms too. Please add your vote if you think it's important to support tiles on Windows Phone!

This would be an amazing feature for WIN10 as well. We are looking at implementing WIN10 for the enterprise and to be able to pin constantly updating dashboards or reports to the start screen for our management team would be incredibly helpful.

This would be absolutely THE killer app combo for W10/W10M.

A way to ensure the tile is live updating would be good too - perhaps /timedate stamp on tile.

It would be great to have multiple values with different formats in single tiles like in MSN money. Ability to drill down and navigate by market by region natively i.e without coding like in MSN Money.

Live tiles for both platforms: Windows Desktop and Phone! It would be great!

The same tile based UI should be implemented across platforms. Its a really neat way to keep a track of the various metrics KPI's
