AI-Powered Unified Data Hub for Easy Data Discovery and Governance
Add an AI-powered Data Hub in Microsoft Fabric that provides one unified view of datasets, reports, pipelines, and real-time data. It should offer smart search, data lineage, freshness indicators, ownership, quality insights, and permission-aware recommendations, helping users quickly discover trusted data and reduce duplication.
Enhancement Request: Enable Full-Text Search Across Health & Safety Documents
Current State The Health & Safety Document Portal search functionality appears to search document titles and metadata only. (metadata, the information about a document rather than the information inside the document itself.) As a result, users must already know the exact title or key wording used in a document to successfully locate relevant policies, procedures, standards, guidance documents, templates, or learning resources. Opportunity Enhance the portal search engine to perform full-text searches across all document content, not just document titles and metadata. This would allow users to search for specific topics, hazards, controls, equipment, regulatory requirements, or process terms and return all relevant documents containing those terms. Business Benefit A full-text search capability would: Improve the ability to quickly locate the correct policy, procedure, standard, or guidance document. Reduce time spent manually opening and reviewing multiple documents. Increase worker efficiency and productivity. Improve compliance by making applicable requirements easier to find. Improve accessibility of organizational knowledge and lessons learned. Increase the value of the existing Health & Safety document repository. Reduce the risk of users relying on outdated or incorrect documents because they could not locate the most relevant source material. Example Today, a user searching for terms such as: torque verification confined space DROPS oxygen deficiency management of change contractor management may not locate all applicable documents unless those exact terms appear in the document title. With full-text indexing, the search would return all documents where those terms appear within the document body, creating a much more effective and user-friendly experience. Recommendation Implement SharePoint full-text indexing/search functionality (or equivalent) to allow searching across the contents of all documents within the Health & Safety Document Portal. Search results should prioritize document content, titles, keywords, and metadata to help users quickly identify the most relevant information. Expected Outcome Users can find the right information faster, improve compliance with Health & Safety requirements, and leverage the full value of the organization's document library without needing to know the exact document title in advance. This enhancement would significantly improve the usability and effectiveness of the Health & Safety Document Portal as a knowledge management and compliance tool.
Allow selective control of individual action bar icons in Power BI Embedded (show only Copilot)
Currently, Power BI Embedded only allows the action bar (toolbar) to be toggled on or off as a whole via embed settings. There is no supported way to selectively show or hide individual icons within the action bar (e.g., Export, Bookmarks, Comments, Copilot, etc.). For embedded scenarios where we want to expose only specific functionality to end users — for example, showing only the Copilot icon while hiding all other toolbar commands — there is currently no supported configuration to achieve this. Requested capability: Provide a granular embed configuration option (e.g., an extension of the existing `settings` object in the embed config, similar to how `panes` controls individual panes) that allows developers to selectively enable/disable specific action bar icons, including Copilot, independently of the rest of the toolbar. Use case: We embed Power BI reports into our own application for external/internal users and want to surface only the Copilot assistant icon as an entry point, without exposing other report actions (export, comments, bookmarks, etc.) through the toolbar, to keep the embedded experience focused and controlled. Business impact: Without this, we are forced to either show the full action bar (exposing unwanted actions) or hide it entirely (losing the Copilot entry point), neither of which meets our embedding requirements. We'd appreciate this being considered for a future release, and are happy to provide further details if the product team needs more context.
IF Condition Scheduled Refreshes
I have many pipelines built within fabric. Now I have had IF conditions within these in order to control when the refresh actually activates. e.g. If the hour is greater that 22 but lower than 7 then fail and do not refresh. Otherwise refresh data. In lamen terms. Only refresh in the day. Recently this logic has failed and the IF condition just get's stuck in a loop of itself. A simple option would be similar to the power bi dataset schedule refresh but add some options for us similar to the logic above?Segregation of data models based on Tags
Team, it would be great if we can have a feature of grouping or filtering of all the workspace data models based on the applied Tags. Because, currently we do have an option of applying Tags to models but such criteria where can filter or group them by based on applied Tags adn this makes non sense in that case. Thank you. Prasad.
Enable Microsoft Apps in Canada Region
I would love to test the new Fabric Apps in Canada Central region. We've been looking for a potential solution to replace some dashboards built on Figma and I believe this new preview product has the potential to help us with that, but I can not test it if it is not enabled in Canada CentralRebuild Objects Metadata including Semantic Model Extract
When using shortcuts that reference Materialized Lake Views, if I need to drop and recreate the MLV (to add a field for example), then the SQL Analytics endpoint metadata gets out of sync and files can then be missing. I created a support case (2605260030001505 for any MS Internal folks looking at this idea) as there appears to be no way to force the metadata to resync other than to drop and recreate the shortcut. I worried about this due to the issues we have found with the same in Semantic Model extracts where the underlying object seemingly gets dropped and recreated and even models that were on extract then have corrupted objects which cannot be found. Any easy way to rebuild the metadata would be great and when a semantic model is on extract, the files should not be deleted referencing an object that may be dropped to ensure extracts continue to work until the next build.Monitoring Hub - Add ability to filter all 30 days of data reliably
Currently you can only filter the last 100 items when using filters which in a large environment makes the monitoring hub nearly useless as you cannot actually find some runs even from the past 24 hours when you have enough objects and the filtering is unreliable, sometimes load more returns 2 objects, sometimes 0 with the same exact conditions. This is a basic capability on other platforms, it should work in Fabric too already.
Enhancements to lineage view in workspace
Currently the lineage view does not link any artifacts that have a data destination. For example, a dataflow Gen2 can write data to a Lakehouse, however, it is not shown in the lineage view, and therefore you cannot see the original data source nor ETL related to that Lakehouse. The same applies to any data preparation artifact including notebooks, pipelines etc. I would like to see the complete end to end lineage in the workspace lineage view which would increase the visibility of the flow of artifacts and work.Unified Fabric AI Chatbot for All Data Services
Idea Request a single AI-powered chatbot within Microsoft Fabric that acts as a unified interface across all data services (similar to Databricks). What it should do Query data using natural language (auto SQL/DAX generation) Work across Lakehouse, Warehouse, Power BI, and Streaming Auto-create pipelines, notebooks, and reports Integrate with Purview for governance & lineage Help troubleshoot pipelines, queries, and capacity issues Why this matters Currently, users must switch tools and know where data resides. A unified chatbot will: Simplify user experience Enable true self-service analytics Reduce dependency on technical teams Accelerate time-to-insight Goal Make Fabric a truly AI-first unified data platform with a conversational interface for all personas (business, analyst, engineer, admin).
