Scope
BI import process consist of two main stages:
- Discovering
- Parsing
On the Scope tab Admin can start the import process using the Discover button. Through discovering the system requests all available metadata from the BI, depending on permissions and accesses.
As a successful discovery result, Admin will see the list of main entities of the BI system.
Please note, before starting the parsing process, Admin should select the necessary entities and save the changes.

| Status | status of import processing for entity; can be success or fail; fail description Admin can find in the Errors log tab |

Updating on schedule
Admin can set up auto-updating on a schedule for each entity.
Updates can be configured to occur daily or weekly. In weekly mode, Admin must also select the day of the week.
The update time can be specified in the Configuration tab, within the Auto-update time field.
Additionally, Admin can specify which workspaces will update automatically.
Please note, If auto-updating is enabled for the workspace, all new reports (created today) in the workspace will be automatically published in Analytics hub.
Update process consist of:
- discover metadata
- check the last update date
- parse new values for entities
- update Analytics hub objects and relations with new values
