  • 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.
  • 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.
