Choosing the data source for a paginated report in PBI Deployment Pipeline - Data Source Rules

I am trying to use paginated reports in deployment pipelines. i am able to create a new rule to change the data source, also set up various sources in the report using report builder. i am able to see db details and server details. how do I know which one is pointing to which source?

Hi @aashritsingh 

 

Based on your screenshot they have got different GUID's which point to the datasetid's. So you could go into the dataset you want to view, then go into the dataset settings, where you will see the dataset ID.

 

Or you could click on the first one, make the deployment and see what happens?
