    Do your datasets need a gateway to be refreshed?

    According to your description, you said you have to update the new passwords for all of the reports one by one. But I don’t think you have to do so, because you can just configure one data source in the gateway and map it to each dataset that connects to this data source.

     

    If your datasource is in the cloud and don’t need gateway, you can just try to use one dataset to create multiple reports. This method can also help you to update as less crendentials as you can when the password is changed.
