How does web data get refreshed

‎04-19-2021 11:57 AM

Hi, 

I have created a report using data from Web (actual data is OData on Successfactors). I successfully get data into Power BI, however, I notice I don't have the option of "direct query" or "import" when the data source is web If I publish this report to PB service, how will the source data get refreshed? Do I have to install a gateway and schedule refreshings? Ideally I would like source data get refreshed automatically when users open the PB Service report or interact with the visuals.

Hi @Anonymous 

Yes you need a Gateway installed on a machine to schedule a refresh.
