Gateway Service Types
Dear concerned,
I am a new Power BI learner. Upon publishing my dashboard, I was fetching a way around to set a refresh rate. I came across a section called Gateway clusters inside app.powerbi.com. I have setup a gateway on my desktop PC, but it seems that the PC has to always be online or at least connected to the internet. I ultimately wish to have the dashboard refreshed on a daily basis.
Best wishes,
Mohamad
moe_elbohsaly Right, you want your IT department to setup a gateway in Standard mode on a server somewhere. That way the server is always on and connected.
moe_elbohsaly That's how I would do it. Can also be an on-premises server but those are just headaches.

Thanks truly dear Greg_Deckler! I will notify my colleagues in the IT department. They setup an Azure server connected to my datasource?
