| Does the new feature capture history for changes made to project name (PPL level) |
No, it doesn't. At this time, history is being added to custom work fields. |
| Does the attribute history include the notes column on the financial details page? |
No, history on notes within the financial details page are not included with this enhancement. |
| How does the additional history tracking impact performance with the additional information being stored? |
The potential impact to performance is more around the update process itself. Because of this, we've provide administrators with the ability to enable/disable attributes independently. |
| When we turn the history on. It will show old and new values going forward only not what was changed before the history was turned on- correct? |
Prior to enabling the history, no changes are captured. |
| Will we need to update the PoweBI "desktop" app to May 2021 on/before Nov 12 (for US)! |
Hello Keith - We will be providing an updated download link to the CSC for Power BI Desktop May 2021 when we update the Report Server. That said - you can still use May 2020 desktop even after the report server update. |
| Im on October 2020 E1. How does the Update to the powerbi server effect me? does that mean i can still upload reports if i get the newer version of power bi desktop? or does it mean when im ready to create net new reports I will have to submit a case to get them uploaded? |
Hello - since October 2020 is within the impacted Enterprise One versions - a case will be needed to update existing Power BI reports or upload net new reports. You will however be able to author reports in either May 2020 or May 2021 Power BI desktop following the report server upgrade. |
| Is a 17.14 patch still planned for the Power BI Server Update, and do you have a target date for that already? We have a few R17 customers who ask often about this and are concerned about bringing their change request for the patch through the channels in time.. or will they now need to use the 'workaround' you just mentioned instead? |
Yes, I will ensure we get the 17.13.4 patch in motion as we approach the deployment dates. |
| Will PowerBI for Cloud work...we are migrating to that as a company |
The Powerbi.com service is independent from the powerbi report server, therefore it will not have any impact with the Report Server update |
| What is the action needed to include a URL: column in column set model? |
Currently the columns with type URL are not included when a column set tabulat model is generated. We are working on a feature that allows this type of columns to be included in column set tabular models |
| I assume we need to update column set being used by the model to add a new/existing column? WHat is the column name? |
Technically any column you create that is type URL can be added to a columnset tabular model once this feature is released |
| Will history be available on request also? Or only work? |
At this point, we've only added history to work custom fields. |
| Are we able to add the Attribute History page to an 'entity tab' view? |
You can access the Attribute History page from the work menu, as well as from configured screens. |
| Does the field audit tracking require any configuration, or is that instantly available with the October upgrade? |
Administrators will need to enable the tracking of history on the desired attributes (Manage Attributes page). |
| Are there any plans to review the MVPs previously released? Such as enhanced screens and +new CRIs? |
Please let me know if I've misunderstood, but we do review current functionality, including MVPs previously released, to ensure that future enhancements are prioritized to get everyone the most value possible. |
| Will the CRI count columns still be aggregatable, as well as being links |
Yes, the CRI counts and links will still be available and both could be included in a columnset tabular model after this feature is released |
| Will the work history be available for CRI? And Action Items? |
At this point, we've only added history to work custom fields (not CRIs or Action Items). |
| Does the new feature capture history for changes made to project name (PPL level) |
No, it doesn't. At this time, history is being added to custom work fields. |
