FAQs

How does BI Hub benefit organizations with only one BI environment?
BI Hub provides benefits such as creating report metadata (description, tags, refresh dates), enabling smart search for 'Not Accessible' reports to reduce duplicates, easy integration with directory services for Single Sign-on, and automatic propagation of user-report authorization changes without manual intervention. -
How are password changes in BI platforms synchronized with BI Hub?

Can BI Hub work with Row Level Security in BI platforms?

Can BI Hub be consumed on iPads?
Yes, BI Hub can be consumed on iPads, but not on smartphones, due to limitations in the responsive UI capabilities of individual BI platforms and tools. -
