Free, no sign-up. The PBIP with sample data includes the background, theme and a README. 1920×1080 fits a new page in a Fluent 2 report; 1280×720 and 2× fit Classic pages. Downloads carry a small “Made with VizForge” mark (sign in to the studio to remove it).

Open the sample-data PBIP in Power BI Desktop

Checked against Microsoft Learn's Power BI Desktop projects documentation (as of Nov 2026).

  1. 1

    Unzip to a short path and open the .pbip

    Extract the zip to a short local folder such as C:\PBI (Windows limits project paths to 260 characters, and Desktop can't save a project straight to OneDrive or SharePoint), then double-click the .pbip file or use File → Open in Power BI Desktop. Microsoft still lists projects and TMDL as preview features (as of Nov 2026): if Desktop won't open the project, go to File → Options and settings → Options → Preview features, tick “Power BI Project (.pbip) save option” and “Store semantic model using TMDL format”, then restart Desktop.

  2. 2

    Select Refresh once

    The project ships without the local data cache (.pbi/cache.abf), so Desktop opens the full model definition without data. Select Home → Refresh: every table is built from values written into its Power Query step, so there is no data source to sign in to.

  3. 3

    Save as .pbix or connect your data

    Use File → Save as to keep a single .pbix file, or open Transform data and replace each table's Source step with your own query, keeping the column names so the measures and visuals keep working.

What’s inside the Logistics sample model

Rendered from the same definition the download writes as TMDL, so this list always matches the file.

Questions this dashboard answers

Each one is answered by a visual on the page, from the sample model's own tables and measures.

About this dashboard layout

Transport teams run the day from a map, so the delivery map takes the top right of the page at 744 by 400 pixels. Plot deliveries as bubbles by destination, coloured by status (on time, late, failed). With Azure Maps you can add a heat-map layer for density, which works better than bubbles above a few thousand drops.

The left column carries four KPIs in a 2×2 grid (on-time delivery %, deliveries today, cost per drop and damaged %) and an on-time trend by week underneath. On-time and in-full (OTIF) is the measure customers judge you on; if you track in-full separately, swap the trend for OTIF.

The bottom row explains the misses: late deliveries by carrier as bars, and an exceptions table (shipment, carrier, depot, reason code, hours late). Reason codes are only useful if drivers and carriers use a fixed list; free-text reasons can't be grouped.

Ocean Deep is a dark navy theme with sea-glass data colours. The map basemap should be set to a dark style so the bubbles carry the colour.

Visuals on the page

Positions are Power BI page pixels. Enter them in Format → General → Properties → Size and position, or use the PBIP download where they are already set.

Custom visuals for this layout

Built-in Power BI visuals cover most slots above. These slots also suit a custom visual; each page covers the data shape, DAX and a prompt to generate it as a .pbiviz.

Already have a report?

Brand Makeover tries Logistics & Delivery first on every page of your Power BI project (.pbip zip) where it fits: the page's visuals have to go into its 8 data slots without overlaps. Pages it can't seat get another catalog layout or a brand grid. Queries, filters and bookmarks are left as they are. Free, in your browser.

Opens with the Analyst / Dense preset, because the Executive preset doesn't use this layout (8 data slots; this preset uses templates with at most 7).

Swap a slot for a custom visual

Pick any slot and VizForge AI writes a custom visual (.pbiviz, with TypeScript source) sized to it, in this template's colours and shaped for the fields it is bound to.

Brief sent to the generator (you can edit it there)

A Power BI card visual titled "On-time delivery". It sits in a 160×72 px slot on a designed report page. Match the report's brand: data colours #2DD4BF, #E8C77D, #F97A6A, #60A5FA, #A78BFA, #86EFAC; background #0E2733; text #E8F4F8; font Segoe UI. Transparent visual background so the page design shows through; no visual border. In the sample model it is bound to [On-Time Delivery %]; keep the same data roles so the fields drop straight in.

Not sure what to build? Browse the visual catalog or open the template in the design studio and hand off any slot from there. Or start in the AI generator with a blank brief.

Colours and theme

Use the background in an existing report

Prefer to keep your own report? Apply the design to it instead of opening the PBIP.

  1. 1

    Download the background

    Take the 1920×1080 PNG for a new page in a Fluent 2 report (the default size for new pages), or the 2× PNG (2560×1440) for sharp text on a 1280×720 Classic page. Power BI scales the image to the canvas.

  2. 2

    Set the canvas background

    Format page → Canvas background → Browse. Set Image fit to Fill and transparency to 0%.

  3. 3

    Import the theme

    Design ribbon → Import theme (in the Power BI service: View → Theme pane), then pick the downloaded JSON. Data colours and fonts now match the design. Older Desktop builds: View → Themes → Browse for themes.

  4. 4

    Place your visuals

    Size each visual to the positions above with background and border off, or open the PBIP project where they are already placed.

Questions about this template

Does the Logistics & Delivery template come with sample data?

Yes. The “PBIP with sample data” download contains a semantic model with 5 tables and 7 DAX measures, and every visual on the page is already bound to it. The sample: A two-hub parcel network over the 8 weeks to 1 Nov 2026 (Monday to Saturday): daily drops to eight destination cities by carrier with on-time, late, failed and damaged counts and cost, plus a consignment-level exception log for the last two weeks. The data is written into each table's Power Query step, so there is no data source or sign-in.

Is it a .pbix file?

It is a Power BI project (PBIP): a folder of text files that Power BI Desktop opens like a .pbix. Open the .pbip file, select Refresh once to load the sample rows, then use File → Save as if you want a single .pbix.

What visuals are in the Logistics & Delivery template?

The page has 10 visual areas: 2 slicers, 4 cards, 1 map, 1 line chart, 1 bar chart, 1 table. Their exact positions are listed on this page so you can match them in Power BI's Format → General → Properties panel, or skip that step by downloading the PBIP project.

Which theme does the Logistics & Delivery template use?

It ships with the Ocean Deep theme (dark tone). Download the theme JSON here, or open the template in the design studio and switch to any other theme or your own brand colours.

Is there a light version of the Logistics & Delivery template?

Yes. Switch the preview to Light and every download (background, theme JSON and PBIP) comes in that version. The layout is identical; the page, card and text colours are re-solved for a light page, and the accent, status and data colours keep their hues but are adjusted until text meets WCAG AA (4.5:1) and chart colours reach 3:1 against the cards.

How do I use the background image in Power BI Desktop?

Select the page, open Format page → Canvas background, choose Browse and pick the PNG, then set Image fit to Fill and transparency to 0%. Give your visuals a transparent background and no border so the designed panels show through.

Can I open the PBIP project in Power BI Desktop?

Yes. PBIR is the default report format in Power BI Desktop since September 2026, and the download is a PBIP project: unzip it and open the .pbip file, select Refresh once and the sample data loads into visuals that are already bound (the empty PBIP leaves the containers unbound for your own data). Microsoft still lists projects and TMDL as preview features (as of Nov 2026), so if Desktop won't open it, enable them under File → Options and settings → Options → Preview features.
