Enhancing Purview Glossary Integration with Power BI

I wanted to share some feedback and a suggestion regarding the Purview glossary implementation, based on our experience at our organization.

While we appreciate the capabilities that Purview offers for data governance, we've encountered significant challenges with setting up and maintaining the business glossary. Despite the ability to import terms rapidly, there is no automated way to link these terms to the items they represent. Each definition must be manually linked to a data item one at a time, across three screens with multiple user interactions per screen. Given that we have over 28,000 data items in our data warehouse alone, not to mention the additional measures and tables in our Power BI data sets, this manual approach is not feasible for us. The current process significantly hinders our ability to efficiently manage and utilize the business glossary.

We believe that an automated feature to link Power BI descriptions to the Purview glossary would greatly enhance our ability to manage data governance and provide a more seamless experience for our users. If this feature is included in the new Purview integrated within Fabric, it would be a significant factor in hastening our move to an F64 capacity.

We hope that Microsoft considers this suggestion, as it would be invaluable in addressing the challenges we face and improving the overall user experience.

Can't agree more, we've had the same issues. We want to use Purview more but it's still far too manual and labor intensive.
