Microsoft’s March update for Power BI Gateway, an on-premises gateway that allows customers to connect the company’s business intelligence and analytics service to local data sources, now includes a more user-friendly way of alerting users to connection issues.
Microsoft Power BI program manager blogged Dimah Zaidalkilani. “In addition to the updated checks, the error messages have been refined to be more actionable and help users understand what specifically failed during the network connectivity check.
In another bid to improve the user experience, the Power BI team has updated the product’s interface to show the gateway’s status at a glance, along with the current version of the software and a notification that alerts users when a new version becomes available.
Microsoft has been busily expanding the Power BI platform’s ability to connect to various sources of business data and perform analytics.
Last week, the company announced a new feature that builds on the connector for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Redshift that Microsoft released in July 2016.
