Manage Frequently Refreshed Data in the Workbooks

The frequently refreshed data is available in the semantic model either automatically or you can add such data manually. The sandbox framework supports some manual refresh scenarios, but more complex configurations require external applications.

When you enable and schedule the frequent data refresh process for the automated frequent refresh scenarios, the system creates an FDR folder in the applicable subject area. This folder has an FDR flag column that you can filter on Y to include the frequently refreshed data in the workbook. If the subject area contains multiple fact tables, you'll see only one FDR folder or flag. When you enable and schedule the frequent data refresh process for the manual scenarios, you must configure the semantic model customizations to use such data.

Note

If you have enabled Manual Execution of Apply System Extensions , you must Apply System Extensions for the FDR flag to be visible in the Subject Area. See Apply System Extensions and Set Up the Global Report Parameters.
