About Semantic Model Data Source Connections

Data source connections with the System connection checkbox selected are available for semantic model development. By default, these connections are displayed in a semantic model's Connections tab.

When you create a data source connection from the Home page's create Connection option, be sure to select the System connection checkbox to make the connection available when you develop semantic models. You can't edit the data source's System connection option after setting up the connection.

When you're working in the Semantic Model editor, any connections that you create from the semantic model's Connections pane automatically have the System connection checkbox selected.

To view a list of data sources that you can use in semantic models, see Supported Data Sources.
