Read Charges from PowerBI Connections
Per QB, in October QB changed the way that APIReads driven by PBI connections were being charged to accounts. We have been trying to get answers on what exactly changed and what kind of activity is driving the charges, because they don't directly align with obvious user activity. Users are connecting to PBI via reports and the dashboards have auto-refreshes of once a day (generally). However we are seeing APIReads in excess of 100+ a day per user. A Solution Architect did some tests with PBI and she said that the following resulted in multiple reads per action: Refresh preview (4 reads) and saving (2 reads). She also said that based on the size of the data the results would be paginated, resulting in more reads (however, the documentation online says "1 read regardless of the number of columns/rows"). It is also possible that the steps in power query are all being counted as Reads. Has anyone else encountered this issue or been able to determine what activity in PBI is driving high read counts? If QB provides answers to this I will update the thread. ------------------------------ Sarah Weeden ------------------------------7Views0likes12CommentsHow much does an HTTP API call cost?
I've been search and haven't been able to find information for the cost of an API call. I'm thinking about making a web app with Quickbase using Angular and wanted to know how much a single API call would cost in terms of $$$$$$$ . thank you , Paul4Views1like6CommentsHow to stop user(s) requesting permission to create applications billed to the account
We are periodically getting an email from users stating they are requesting permission to create applications billed to the account. Checking in with one of the users, the request to create an app came as a popup on the screen. The popup is exited out (clicking the X), though the user has to click several times to close it. These are not desired requests, yet as the account administrator, we receive emails that the users are requesting it. It seems this is an error with the popup if they are not actually making the request. Is there a way to disable this popup for the users from randomly appearing? I'm not sure yet what this looks like. Hoping it's an easy solution to resolve. Thanks!2Views2likes7Commentswould like to only pay for one user
My company has to migrate to a industry-specific system for our operations. They don't have a CRM or business management component though so I would like to maintain my QuickBase subscription for this aspect. I have to convince the company to keep my subscription so I want to bring it down to just one user, me. Can I do that and only pay $25/month?
