Prerequisites for SharePoint Online

Prerequisites for installing the CardioLog Analytics SaaS Power BI Reports 

  1. At least one user account with a Power BI Pro or Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) license. We highly recommend Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) to benefit from increased Power BI resources, faster report loading and refresh times, and enhanced capabilities for monitoring Power BI capacity and resource usage. To find the optimal Power BI license plan for your organization, you can use this Power BI licensing calculator.
    Note: This user account will become the owner of the app workspace in Power BI and will be able to share it with others in the organization and collaborate on reports. 
    End users who just need to consume reports, do not need a Power BI Pro or a Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) license. You can export reports for them (to CSV, PDF, Excel) or embed the report within SharePoint (using the publish to web - creates a public link to the report).     End users will login with their personal Microsoft 365 accounts to the Power BI web interface to access Power BI reports. There is no need to install Power BI for desktop.

  2. Make sure that the user account has MFA disabled.

  3. Make sure that the user account is able to create a new workspace in Power BI.
    Power BI Admin Portal > Tenant settings > Workspace settings > enable the Create workspaces (new workspace experience) setting and apply it to your user account.

  4. The Power BI dataset size is limited based on your Power BI license. In case the limit is reached, upgrade your Power BI license plan.

  5. The Power BI data processing resources are limited based on your Power BI license. In case resources are exceeded, upgrade your Power BI license plan.

  6. The Power BI dataset is refreshed once a day. Only one dataset is allowed. In case multiple datasets and/or multiple refreshes per day are required, contact us to upgrade your subscription plan. 

  7. Support for custom made Power BI reports and measures, as well as integrations with additional data sources will require professional services.
