Last updated Oct 17, 2026 Inventory

AI summary

Power BI datasets in Rencore Governance inventory contain properties like owner, sensitivity label, risk score, storage mode, and replica settings. The scanning system can be configured with different intervals and removes old data during incremental scans based on your settings. Policies can identify orphaned datasets, and datasets are tracked in relation to reports, workspaces, and activity events for comprehensive governance.
