    There are currently some similar features, Publish to Web, save as PowerPoint and you can subscribe to reports to get a screen shot sent when the data refreshese. Other than that, I am not currently aware of anything that would replicate that functionality. However, I would check the Ideas forum and see what is currently in progress or planned.

We recently purchased Power BI Robots, but we have not found a way for the newly created/changed playlists by end users to begin executing without an admin logging in and manually clicking the synchronize button.

 

Is there a way for end users of the web application to schedule playlists to begin execution after creation without going to the desktop application and clicking the synchronize button?

Hi, jwademcg

 

PowerBI Robots currently requires that you click the sync button on the desktop agent after the creation or modification of a playlist. That being said, auto-sync is already on our team's roadmap and you can expect it to be available soon.

If you have any more questions about PowerBI Robots, feel free to contact us here.

 

Best regards,

The DevScope team
