What are endorsements in Power BI ?
Endorsements in Power BI are like badges of honor for your valuable and trustworthy content. They help users identify the best reports, datasets, apps, and dataflows within your organization, promoting collaboration and making data utilization more efficient. Here's a breakdown of how they work:
What they do:
Highlight high-quality content: Endorsements clearly mark content that meets specific quality standards and is worthy of being shared and used throughout the organization.
Increase visibility: Endorsed content stands out from the crowd, making it easier for users to find the most relevant and reliable data assets.
Promote trust and confidence: Knowing content is endorsed gives users confidence in its accuracy, credibility, and adherence to organizational guidelines.
Streamline data governance: Endorsements facilitate data governance by making it easier to identify and manage trustworthy data sources.
Two types of endorsements:
Promotion: This is a way to highlight content you think is valuable and should be used by others. Any content owner or member with write permissions can promote content they believe is good enough for sharing.
Certification: This signifies that the content meets the organization's quality standards and can be considered reliable, authoritative, and ready for use across the organization. Only authorized reviewers (defined by the Power BI administrator) can certify content.
Benefits of using endorsements:
Improves data discoverability: Users can easily find the most relevant and reliable data, saving time and effort.
Boosts data utilization: Endorsed content is more likely to be used and shared, leading to better data-driven decision-making.
Supports collaboration: Encourages team members to create and share high-quality content, fostering a collaborative data culture.
Strengthens data governance: Makes it easier to manage and maintain data quality standards within the organization.

By utilizing them strategically, you can create a data-driven culture within your organization where users can confidently access and utilize the most valuable and trustworthy information.
