# BI Status Badge

Often, the best way to notify end-users of issues is directly in the tools they use on a daily basis. With BI status badges, you can display if there are any issues on or upstream of a chart directly in your BI tool.

### Creating a BI badge

<aside>
  💡 To create a BI badge, you must first create a Data Product. If you want to capture the state of a specific chart or dashboard, you can create a Data Product by selecting that. See [Data products overview](https://www.notion.so/Data-products-overview-eea7cd6ef3a6411aa48aa6f5f0d96e49?pvs=21)
</aside>

* Navigate to [Products](https://app.synq.io/products)

* Select the data product that contains the assets that you want to display the status of in your BI tool and navigate to the `settings` tab

* Depending on your BI tool, copy the relevant Markdown or SVG URL

* Navigate to your BI tool and insert a widget that points to the URL above. The level of support for this may vary depending on the BI tool you use

<Info>
  **Looker example**<br />
  If you use Looker, click `Add > Markdown` and paste the Markdown URL from Coalesce Quality into the `Body`

</Info>

* Your BI tool will show a tile with the status of the data product. Clicking on the tile brings you back to Coalesce Quality with an overview of the issues to connect the dots.
