Terms in this definition

• Chat message roles

  Labels on chat messages: instructions go under system, the person's input under user, the model's previous answers under assistant, and results returned by a called tool under tool (or function).

• Licence

  What entitles one particular user to the services a subscription offers. Each product licence is made up of several service plans (one per app or service), and before giving it to someone an admin has to record that user's usage location.

• FIRST

  A DAX function available only inside visual calculations. It fetches the value at the start of one axis of the visual's matrix, which makes it handy for comparing each point with the first; its opposite is LAST.

• Capacity

  A reserved block of compute for a tenant whose size is fixed by its SKU; Fabric F SKUs express it in capacity units (CUs). Workspaces assigned to it unlock features like Copilot, and from F64 upwards people with free licences can view Power BI content.

• Power BI

  Microsoft's analytics and reporting service. It reaches data held on-premises through the on-premises data gateway.

• F64

  Equal in compute to a P1, this Fabric capacity has 64 capacity units. From this size upwards, Power BI content can be opened by people with just a Free licence and the Viewer role.

• PPU

  Premium Per User. Licensed person by person, it adds most Premium capacity features on top of everything Pro offers. Items in a PPU workspace are shareable only with other PPU licence holders, and no Fabric capacity comes with it.

• Share

  In OpenSharing, the container you fill with tables, views, volumes, models and notebooks for recipients. You need CREATE SHARE on the metastore to make one; add a schema and all its assets, including later ones, go with history.
