I frequently use Power Flow to refresh dataflows and datasets. E.g. trigger dataflow refresh when a file is saved into a SharePoint folder. Trigger refresh of a dataset when a dataflow refresh completes.


My idea is to:

1) expand the settings page to have multiple methods of triggering a refresh (shouldn't be any issue with both methods being set up

  • Scheduled Refresh
  • Power Flow trigger

In the Power Flow trigger section, be able to see any Power Flows that would trigger the refresh of this dataflow / dataset


2) Be able to create a Power Flow directly from the settings > refresh tab, ideally pre-populating the workspace / dataflow / dataset details into the trigger step

3) Be able to browse for any Power Flow that references dataflows or dataset, to allow an easy way of opening an existing flow and adding in details of the current dataflow / dataset to trigger a refresh
