# Embed external resources in an iframe

> Embed external resources into Cortex XCOR dashboards by using an iframe.

The *External* panel type lets you embed external HTML resources into your
Palo Alto Networks Cortex XCOR dashboards by adding a URL, which embeds that
resource in an iframe.

To create an External panel or learn more about the configuration options common
to all panels, see [Panels](/observe/dashboards/panels).

## Embed an external source into a panel

To embed an external source into a panel:

1. [Edit the External panel](/observe/dashboards/panels#edit-a-panel).
2. Click the **External** tab.
3. In the **URL** field, type or paste the URL to embed.
4. Optional: Set the **Embed dimensions** to control the **Static height** and
   **Static width** of the embedded item. Measurement is in pixels (`px`).
5. Click **Apply**.
6. Click **Save** to save the dashboard changes.

To make the iframe dynamic, use
[dashboard variables](/observe/dashboards/customization/dashboard-variables).
