Set up department insights
Department insights slice BI 360 by team, function, or business unit (for example Marketing, Finance, Sales, or R&D), so you see adoption, license use, and content ownership per department instead of only tenant-wide.
Once department data is connected, BI 360 adds:
Department User Breakdown: adoption and activity per team.
License Utilization by Department: allocated vs. active licenses per team.
Department Dashboard Ownership: content ownership and inactivity per team.
Department BI Health Snapshot: top active and at-risk departments on the Executive Summary.
Set up via Entra ID (automated)
Datalogz joins the department field on each user account in Entra ID to the users, owners, and licenses it ingests from your BI tools.
Confirm Entra ID is configured for your tenant.
Go to Settings > User Directory.
Set up the Entra ID connector (see the Entra ID guide).
Department dimensions appear in BI 360 within one ingestion cycle.
Set up via a mapping file (manual)
Go to Settings > User Directory.
Choose which tools (Power BI or Tableau) you want to map assets to departments for.
Create a CSV or Excel file with the columns asset_name, asset_id, and department. You can rename department to the language you use, for example Business Units.
Upload the file on the Asset Mapping card and click Sync.
Without Entra ID or a mapping file, the rest of BI 360 works as normal. The department breakdowns are simply hidden from the Organizational, Data and Reporting tabs and from the Executive Summary.
