The Embed Hub consists of a collage of existing content displayed on the home page of the main client interface for Pyramid Basic Users. Embed Hub templates describe what is included to Basic users using Embedding. Embed Hubs can contain data discoveries, presentations, and URL links.
The Embed Hub is defined by the Admin, but each user can edit their own view of it.
