With the new release we have introduced the possibility of using a security key used when the Power BI template dataset is populated. When opening the template, Power BI will prompt you to enter this key.

 

Vcad Standalone

To retrieve the key click on the info icon at the right top corner on the Vcad file manager page.
In the window that will open it will be possible to copy the ApiKey.

 

 

Alternatively click on the template download icon at the right top corner on the Vcad file manager page.
In the window that will open it will be possible to copy the ApiKey.

 

 

Vcad for ACC

In Vcad for ACC, the ApiKey can be found in the template download window.
At any imported file, click on the three dots near the file status indicator and then on the TEMPLATES button. In the window that will open it will be possible to copy the ApiKey.

 

 

The key must then be entered in the KEY field present in the Power BI WEB API tab and click CONNECT.

 

 

The key will be saved in Power BI Desktop and you won’t need to enter it every time.
