This article describes how to install the app and connect to data sources. For information about the contents of the report and how to use it, see Monitor Premium capacities with the app, and the Premium Capacity Metrics app blog post.

After you've installed the app and connected to the data sources, you can customize the report as per your needs. You can then distribute it to colleagues in your organization.

Installing template apps requires permissions. Contact your Power BI admin if you find you don't have sufficient permissions.

Install the app

Click the following link to get to the app: Power BI Premium Capacity Metrics template app
On the AppSource page for the app, select GET IT NOW.
Select Install.

Note

If you've installed the app previously, you will be asked whether you want to overwrite that installation or install to a new workspace.

Once the app has installed, you see it on your Apps page.

Connect to data sources

Select the icon on your Apps page to open the app.
On the splash screen, select Explore.

The app opens, showing sample data.
Select the Connect your data link on the banner at the top of the page.
In the dialog box that appears, set the UTC offset, that is, the difference in hours between Coordinated Universal Time and the time in your location. Then click Next.

Note: The format for half hours should be decimal (for example, 5.5, 2.5, etc.).
In the next dialog that appears, you don't have to do anything. Just select Sign in.
At the Microsoft sign-in screen, sign in to Power BI.

After you've signed in, the report connects to the data sources and is populated with up-to-date data. During this time, the activity monitor turns.

Your report data will automatically refresh once a day, unless you disabled this during the sign-in process. You can also set up your own refresh schedule to keep the report data up to date if you so desire.
