Report Documentation Best Practices

[ssrinath]

Hello!

I'm trying to be more intentional when it comes to report documentation. I am using descriptions in Desktop as much as I can for all Measures, tables, etc.

Just was wondering, has anyone utilized external tools for documentation - ChatGPT, etc? If so, what was has your experience been like? Additioanlly, are there any best practices that I should be following?

My goal is to document both the semantic model, as well as the vsiaul UI of the report. 

Thank You!
