Power BI Technical Overview

DateTable

The datetable is created to have a centralized table for time intelligence. The table is build by creating a list of dates and add useful time intelligence based columns, such as the day of the week, month, year or week of the year. This makes it easier to filter graphs and reports based on the date range that user prefers.

Fields

Field	Type	Description
DateKey	Date	Field to create relations between multiple tables. Can be used a filter on its own to filter data from multiple tables on date.
Year	Integer	The year of the Datekey field as number
Month	Integer	The month of the Datekey field as number
Month Name	Text	The month name of the Datekey field as a string, can be used for filters in a more user friendly way

Elements

The elements table is a hidden table in the online environment and by default only visible in the tables or data model tab in Power BI Desktop. This table is only used to retrieve the latest icon set for report navigation and was created as Power BI by default does not support custom icons that switch whenever the user changes themes.

Fields

Link	Text	The url where the image is stored and retrieved from
Theme	Text	A field that is used as a filter to switch between dark and light theme

 

PowerBI_ChatTranscript

This table stores the chat transcript history, if there is any. Which makes it possible to read a transcript of the chat, by drilling down on a specific chat to the dialogue detail report and then drilling down on the chat correlation. If you don’t have chats, you could remove this table and the chat transcript report.

PowerBI_Presence

The PowerBI_Presence table is currently not being used in reports anymore but is being used as basis for the new PresenceGrouping Table. The table is hidden from the end user and only visible in the desktop client. Please note that this table determines the content of the new Presence table and should not be deleted if you want to report on presence information.

 

PresenceGrouping

The PresenceGrouping is the new presence table of the template. It groups the time per hour to get a better understanding of the time spent in a presence state during the day. The table is created in DAX rather in the Power Query editor, and therefor it is not a SQL-view. It is based on the old table and cannot exist without it. The new table combined with the old table is faster and has less impact on the database than creating the formula in SQL.

Below the ERD of the SQL views is displayed. Please note that this ERD only contains the SQL-views (blue) and two optional tables (red). The content of the tables represent the content of the SQL-views rather than the Power BI Tables. For the datamodel behind the Power BI template, please use the Power BI Template under the data model tab.
