Analysis Models - Power BI provides the capability to customize a model and upload it through the IFS Cloud Web into the target workspace. If an IFS Delivered model needs to be modified, the customizing process involves two main functions. 

  1.   Download Model
  2.  
  3.   Upload Model

Customizing a model can be as simple as performing basic changes (i.e. adding new measures) as well as modifying the data set by adding new data sources.    

As a part of the customization process, new Parquet Data Sources can be created and added to the model that is being customized. This can be achieved by Creating a Parquet Data Source based on Information Sources and other Views, and performing an Explicit load. 

Through the Power BI Desktop, the Data Sources from ADLS Gen 2 folder can be accessed by providing the SAS Token .  

Along with the Power BI Desktop, there are tools/ plugins that can be used with Power BI Desktop, to enhance the customization process. 

Once the model is edited, the parameter creation is essential before uploading the Power BI file. 

Refer Technical Documentation for further details regarding parameter creation.
