The generated description outlines the main elements of the report:

- Purpose of the report: explains its purpose and the decisions or analyses it enables.
- Key metrics: Identifies the main data points, metrics, and dimensions displayed in the report.
- Data sources: Describes the origin of the data used to generate the report.

Data Search feature allowing automatic AI generation of data report summaries.

Model used:
Descriptions are generated using GPT, and the model may evolve as the feature is improved.

Data submitted to GPT models via Azure OpenAI  is treated as confidential, is not used to train Microsoft or OpenAI models, and remains isolated within the customer's Azure tenant in accordance with Microsoft's privacy commitments.

BW Connector – Improvements

The BW connector includes several enhancements designed to enrich the reported data and improve the reliability of connections between different types of objects.
Management of BEx Queries has been improved, with more comprehensive reporting of exported data and better management of connections to upstream objects, including Composite Providers, Infosets, and CDS Views.
The display of labels in French and English has also been improved for various types of objects to provide more comprehensive and consistent information.
Finally, Composite Provider management has been enhanced to improve the reporting of columns and better identify their sources.

General Improvements

The platform is evolving with a migration of the back end to .NET 10 to improve its performance, security, and maintainability.
The password management policy has also been strengthened to improve overall account security. From now on, all new accounts and password changes must meet the following criteria: a minimum length of 12 characters, at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character.
