Either you havent set up the credential or a gateway connection to the data source. Thats why it is still greyed-out. Theres also a possibility that your data source cant be set up with an auto refresh. What is your data source type?

Have a look at this doc to set up credential or if needed,a gateway.

It;s showing that my data gateway (personal mode) is offline or couldn't be reached so I cant even do a manual refresh. I'm getting data from a connector through snowflake. Can you help? Thank you

Have a look at the section on scheduling refresh with snowflake connector in this article. I hope it helps.

As mentioned by @Shivu-2000 , you will need to own the semantic model to be able to set it up.

If you scroll up in the setting, you should see "configured by":

I own it. I has my email. But further down on the gataway has my office desktop and now im on my work laptop. Could that be the issue? Can I only set up auto refresh or even do a manual refresh from the device in which I created the report?

Hi @VDS9

You may not be able to see the refresh section because you are not the owner of the semantic model.

To gain access and enable auto-refresh, you will need to take ownership of the semantic model. Once you assume ownership, you will have the necessary permissions to configure auto-refresh settings

Happy to help!

How can I check if im the owner of the semantic model? If not, how can I take ownership? its showing that my data gateway (personal mode) is offline or couldn't be reached so I cant even do a manual refresh. Can you help? Thank you
