# Browser Extension

> View Validio data quality information alongside your BI tool dashboards with the browser extension.

The Validio browser extension expands your BI Tool monitoring experience with data quality information and other Validio functionality alongside the dashboards and assets in your supported BI Tools.

The Validio browser extension alongside a Looker dashboard

After configuring Validio credentials for your BI Tools, you can add the extension to your browser. The Validio credential connects to the BI Tools and discovers its catalog assets. From the BI Tool, if Validio is tracking the asset, you can open the extension and view if any incidents were detected during the latest poll.

The extension helps you to:

* Track data quality incidents on sources and quickly see the number of incidents since the latest poll.
* Review a summary about the incident directly from your BI Tool and alongside your asset.
* Click through to the incident details page in Validio for further investigation.

## Prerequisites

You must have valid credentials configured in Validio to connect to your supported BI Tools. The credential should provide the necessary permissions to access the desired dashboards or views in your BI Tools. BI tool credentials are always enabled for catalog, so there is no catalog option to configure. For more information, see [BI Tool integrations](https://docs.validio.io/v10.3/docs/integrations/business-intelligence-tools.md).
