Create Power BI data source

1. Navigate to Settings  > Data Ingestion > Data Sources.
2. Click New data source.
   • 
3. Select your system and the newly created connection.
4. Name your source (and add a description) for easier identification in Dawiso.

Select workspaces

In this step, select all workspaces you want to ingest into Dawiso.

Provide a list of workspaces to be scanned. You have the workspaces filtering options:

Filter type	Action
Workspace Type	Choose to include all workspaces or active only.
Included Workspaces	Provide a comma-separated list of workspaces to include. Make sure to avoid unnecessary spaces or illegal characters.
Excluded Workspaces	Provide a comma-separated list of workspaces to exclude. Make sure to avoid unnecessary spaces or illegal characters.
Workspaces Filter Expression	Use LIKE style expression for filtering, e.g., %finance%, to integrate all workspaces with the “finance” string in their names. This filter is case-insensitive.
Workspaces Filter Regular Expression	Use full-featured regular expressions to filter workspaces by name with more precision.

Editing the list of workspaces

If you edit the list of workspaces for an an existing and already ingested data source, note the following:

• Newly added workspaces will be ingested during the next ingestion run.
• Removed workspaces will be treated as deleted. Dawiso will automatically remove all associated metadata during the next run. This includes any user-added content such as descriptions, ownership, or relations.

Destination configuration

In the Destination configuration step:

1. Select into what space you want to store your ingested metadata. Keep in mind you can select only the spaces you have access to.

2. Select the workflow for ingested objects management. For more information on workflows, see the article on Workflow types.

3. [Optional steps]

   Configuration	Description
   Schedule	To customize the regular automated ingestion, check the box next to Schedule and adjust the frequency.
   Optional Settings	Specify options supported by the provider in JSON format. Option will be made available based on feedback. For more information, see Optional Settings.
   Additional Settings	Add a JSON formatted list of additional settings that can be used to troubleshoot your custom scenarios. We recommend leaving this field empty unless our Dawiso support team suggests otherwise.
   Enable AI-Generated Descriptions	Enable AI-generated descriptions for your ingested metadata. Descriptions will be generated according to prompts that are defined in packages. Each attribute type can have its own configurable prompt and any AI-generated content will be clearly marked with a banner the text is manually reviewed and saved. Descriptions will be generated on the following levels: database, schema, view, and table.

4. Save your data source.

Run ingestion

Once you create your data source, you will be redirected to a list of your data sources.

1. Click the three dots next to your newly created source, and select  Run ingestion.
2. Confirm to ingest your data.

You can find all new, running, or completed ingestions by navigating to Settings  > Data Ingestion > Ingestions. For more information, see the article on Ingestions.
