Personal Gateway Schedule Refresh Help

Hi, 

I have a personal gateway set up to have my reports on a schedule refresh. However, I only need the refresh to happen Monday-Friday, but was only able to set up as daily. Since its daily and I am not on my computer Sat or Sun, the refresh keeps erroring out. Is there a way to make the schedule more specific?

Thanks!

Hello @Libbyb23,
İf you are using on-premises gateway(you can think like personal gateway if you would not like to share your connection to other colleagues. İf you'd like to share other collagues you need on-premises gateway), your computer needs to be open all the time. Especially when refresh time comes. But if you are using cloud data source such as AzureSQL, Azure data lake etc. and then if you configure personal cloud or sharable cloud connection crediantial. You don't need to open your computer all the time because cloud refresh whenever you'd like.
More information about gateways I wrote a blog about it if you are interested ı give links:
