DISCLAIMER: Power BI Template updates and support
Note that we continuously develop the template not just visually, but also to reflect the latest OData Feed and Nimbus Reporting Model data warehouse concepts. This also requires our Power BI template to be updated in regular intervals.
While we strive to maintain backwards compatibility, your older stored Power BI file template versions can become outdated over time. This is also due to the physical nature of Power BI files and Power BI App development itself, resulting in Nimbus data not being queried as expected anymore and/or features getting deprecated and replaced over time.
Recommendation: Regular BI Template Updates
As communicated via our Nimbus BI Template Release Notes we are constantly improving our products, including the Nimbus BI template; this results in changes, not just to visible template functionality, but also the underlying queries. Since each improvement can only be delivered in the form of a new physical file, we never make retroactive adjustments to older versions of the template, and thus, we cannot guarantee that an old template file will continue to work indefinitely as expected.
For those reasons we strongly recommend the following:
✅Regularly check the Nimbus BI Template Release Notes for any changes on features that you use.
✅Update your template at regular intervals to ensure seamless interaction with the OData Feed and any Nimbus updates.
Note: Support on customized Templates
While we understand the need and allow our users individually to customize the Nimbus Power BI Template, please understand that this also introduces a huge variety of possible error causes. We gladly take customer feedback to continuously improve our template in general, however this must be done by striking a balance between features, clarity, maintainability and stability.
☝For the reasons above, please understand that Luware Support cannot assist you with your own customized templates.
✅Whenever you encounter errors on your customized templates: Please ensure to test in parallel with the newest BI Template first, before contacting customer support.
