# August 2024 August marked the arrival of Power Pilot, Power Embedded's artificial intelligence assistant, together with the new Reports Portal layout. The month also brought warnings for users, two-factor authentication, scheduled capacity resizing, PBIX file publishing through the portal and the support ticket system. ## August 30, 2024 ### New features * **Support ticket system**: you can now open support tickets with the Power Embedded team directly in the Administration Portal, with a title and a description of your request. Under **Actions** › **Details**, you follow the ticket and exchange comments with the team working on it. Support requests, suggestions and error reports are now recorded and organized in one place. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/support-system.md) ## August 28, 2024 ### New features * **Publishing PBIX files through the portal**: report import gained the **Power BI File** option, which lets you upload a .pbix file and publish it to Power BI directly from the Administration Portal. You no longer need to open Power BI Desktop just to publish a report. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/reports/import-report/README.md) ## August 27, 2024 ### Improvements * **Payment link and invoice in Billing**: the *Billing* screen now shows the link to pay the monthly fee and the corresponding invoice. Even if you did not receive the automatic email, you can find everything in the portal. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/billing/payment-link-and-invoice.md) * **Automatic token renewal while browsing**: the report access token is now renewed automatically while the user browses and interacts with the report. This reduces expired token errors for people who keep a report open for a long time. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/settings/organization/token-update.md) ## August 22, 2024 ### New features * **Warnings**: a new feature for creating announcements shown to users in the Reports Portal. In the Administration Portal, you register the warning with a title, a description and the display period (start and end date and time). In the Reports Portal, the **Warnings** icon at the top of the screen shows how many warnings are active and opens each message. It is a simple way to announce scheduled maintenance, outages and internal communications. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/warnings.md) ## August 21, 2024 ### Improvements * **Power Pilot with RLS and table results**: Power Pilot now runs queries directly against the semantic model applying the user's RLS rules, and shows query results as a table. Each user only gets answers with the data they are allowed to see. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/power-pilot-ai/rls-on-powerpilot.md) ## August 16, 2024 ### Improvements * **Case-insensitive user search**: the user search now finds the record regardless of whether the name or email was typed in uppercase or lowercase letters. ## August 15, 2024 ### New features * **Two-factor authentication (MFA)**: Power Embedded login now supports two-factor authentication, which can also be configured when editing a user. It adds an extra layer of protection to portal access. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/users/two-factor-authentication.md) ## August 13, 2024 ### Improvements * **Collapsible application menu and new theme selector**: in the Reports Portal, the application menu now works as an accordion that can be expanded and collapsed, and switching between the light and dark themes got its own submenu. Navigation is more organized, especially in applications with many reports. [See the documentation](../../../main-features/application.md) ## August 7, 2024 ### Improvements * **Power Pilot assistants in user and group settings**: when creating or editing a user or a group, the **Assistants** tab lets you choose which Power Pilot assistants are available to them. You control AI access in the same place where you manage the other permissions. ## August 6, 2024 ### Improvements * **Dark mode on mobile**: dark mode now also works in the mobile version of the Reports Portal, with adjustments to the menu and navigation bar. [See the documentation](../../../main-features/dark-mode.md) ## August 2, 2024 ### New features * **Scheduled capacity resizing**: in time-based cost optimization, you can schedule different actions for each day of the week and, besides turning the capacity on and off, choose the new action to change the capacity to another SKU at specific times. You scale the capacity up during peak periods and down when demand drops, without going to the Azure portal. Changes are recorded in the capacity audit. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/artifacts/capacities/automatic-resizing.md) ### Improvements * **Hide the Power Pilot button**: the visualization portal parameters gained the option **Hide Power Pilot button if the user does not have access to any assistant**, so the button is not shown to people who cannot use it. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/settings/parameters/README.md) ## August 1, 2024 ### New features * **Power Pilot (AI) and new Reports Portal layout**: the Reports Portal got a new look and now includes Power Pilot, an artificial intelligence assistant that answers questions about your company's data. Clicking **Power Pilot** opens a sidebar with the assistants the user has access to. [See the documentation](../../../administration-portal/power-pilot-ai/README.md)
