Enter Details to Upload Model 

Explanation

This activity is used to start the Upload Analysis Model page and initiate the process of Uploading the Analysis Model into the desired target Power BI workspace (based on the available provisioned target workspaces). The Upload Model option is available in the Analysis Models page.   

 1.If an IFS Delivered model is to be uploaded, 

• If the model is Published before – Selecting the model that needs to be updated will display the default values of the Area and Model Display Name in the Upload Analysis Models page. When it is needed to overwrite the Published model, these details can remain the same. RLS Embedded toggle is enabled by default.It is important to change the RLS Embedded  toggle based on the model's RLS status. If it is needed to update the model as a New Model, New Model option can be selected from the Model Display Name drop down.   
• If the model is not Published before- Selecting the model that needs to be updated will display the default values of the Area and Model Display Name as New Model. RLS Embedded toggle is enabled by default and it needs to be changed based on model's RLS status.

 Model Overwrite dialog box appears in below scenarios: 

• When the Upload command is selected for a Published model 
• When a given New Model Name is already available in the selected target Power BI workspace.

 2.If a Non-IFS delivered model is to be uploaded,  

• In the Upload Analysis Model page, New Model value needs to be selected from the Model Display Name drop down. 
• It is important to change the RLS Embedded toggle based on model's RLS status. 

Selecting the Browse option enables uploading the Power BI file as .pbix into the IFS Cloud web. If the uploaded Power BI needs to be replaced, Delete option can be used to remove the uploaded file.

When the Model is uploaded as a New model, IFS Cloud web UI takes over the uploaded Power BI file name and displays it in the New Model Display Name field. This can be modified if required. 

Prerequisites

To Upload a model, the customized or New Power BI file should be available in a local folder. 

To perform this activity, maintaining own Power BI file repo is a must for version controlling.
