Explore the Power BI service, create and manage workspaces, and distribute reports to users.
In this module, you will:
- Describe the Power BI service and its building blocks.
- Create workspaces, assign license modes, and manage access.
- Publish reports to the Power BI service.
Semantic models are the foundation for report development in Power BI. Efficient management ensures data connectivity and improves report performance and accuracy.
In this module, you will:
- Manage data source connectivity and gateways.
- Configure semantic model refresh settings.
- Endorse semantic models.
- Analyze data dependencies.
- Configure query caching with Fabric or Premium capacities.
Choose a content distribution method for Power BI.
In this module, you will:
- Understand the different content distribution methods available in Power BI
- Create a Power BI app
- Apply data governance principles
- Track a report or dashboard
Microsoft Power BI dashboards are different than Power BI reports. Dashboards allow report consumers to create a single artifact of directed data that is personalized just for them. Dashboards can be composed of pinned visuals that are taken from different reports. Where a Power BI report uses data from a single semantic model, a Power BI dashboard can contain visuals from different semantic models.
In this module, you'll:
- Create a dashboard.
- Configure data alerts.
- Ask questions using Q&A.
- Review Quick insights
- Add a theme to the visuals in your dashboard.
- Pin a live report page to a dashboard.
- Set a mobile view.
Row-level security (RLS) and Object-level security (OLS) allows you to create a single or a set of reports that targets data for a specific user. In this module, you'll learn how to implement RLS by using either a static or dynamic method and how Microsoft Power BI simplifies testing RLS in Power BI Desktop and Power BI service.
In this module, you will:
- Configure row-level security by using a static method.
- Configure row-level security by using a dynamic method.
- Use single sign-on (SSO) for DirectQuery sources
- Restrict access to Power BI model objects with object-level security.
