Urgent Resolution to a Permissions Issue With Jet Reports and Jet Analytics When Used With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Cloud Data Connector

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Centralinsightsoftware have issued an urgent notification of a permissions issue with Jet Reports and Jet Analytics when used with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central cloud data connector. An error is produced when the user tries to use either of the Jet products.

The issue is that Microsoft have made a change today to deprecate a permission on the Jet app registrations called Azure AD Graph. The previous app was published as Jet Global Data Technologies; a new one called insightsoftware has been created with the correct API permissions.

To pick up the new permissions and resolve the issue, all users need to do is log out and back in (Excel » Jet » Settings » Data Source Settings » Authentication » Log Out » Log In), accepting the permission request when prompted.

Jet Analytics users will be automatically prompted to log back in and they will not get an error, however, they will also need to accept the new permissions request.

If the users receive a message saying that admin approval is needed, the Azure Active Directory Administrator needs to provide Administrator consent for the new Jet Reports App in order for users to sign in against it.

If needed the Azure Active Directory Administrator consent is needed, this is done by logging into Business Central via Jet Reports by going to Settings » Data Source Settings » Authentication » Log in; they will get an option to consent to the application being used in the tenant.

Recent ISC Software Webinar: Business Intelligence with Microsoft Dynamics GP

ISC Software SolutionsIn our most recent webinar, we took a look at Business Intelligence with Microsoft Dynamics GP. In this webinar, we covered how business intelligence can be used with Microsoft Dynamics GP. If you want to catch up on this, or any other, webinar, you can do so here.

  1. Introduction
  2. What is Business Intelligence?
  3. What is Jet Analytics?
  4. Reporting options with Jet Analytics
  5. What is Power BI?
  6. Reporting options with Power BI
  7. Conclusion

Introduction ^

I think this webinar was the first one in which we didn’t even open Microsoft Dynamics GP. This because this webinar focused on how business intelligence can be used with Microsoft Dynamics GP. We focused on two business intelligence products which can be used to quickly build required dashboards and reporting for business intelligence.

The two products we looked at are complimentary and can be used both together or independently. They are Jet Analytics and PowerBI

Jet AnalyticsThis post is part of the series on Upgrading to Jet 2019.

Before installing the new version of Jet Analytics, it is worth noting that Jet recommend leaving the old version installed while installing the new. There is no reason given for this, but I presume it is tio allow for easy rollback in the event of problems.

Upgrading to Jet 2019: Series Index

Jet Global Data TechnologiesBack in April I did a series of posts on implementing the various products from Jet Global Data technologies (or Jet Reports as they then were before their re-branding).

Jet Global have recently launched new versions of their products and I thought a short series on upgrading might be useful. This post is the series index, and will automatically update as the posts go live (if you’re reading this on a syndicated post, make sure you check back to the original as only that will update).

In this series I will be upgrading both Jet Analytics (formerly Jet Enterprise) and Jet Reports (formerly Jet Professional).

Jet Reports is Now Jet Global Data Technologies

Jet Global Data TechnologiesAs of 1st Ovtober 2018, Jet Reports have re-branded to Jet Global Data Technologies (or Jet Global for short).

Since Jet Reports was created, the company has gone through a number of changes and no longer just does reporting. This was true enough as was, but with the recent release of Jet Budgets it is even more accurate. The name change is meant to represent this expanded focus.

As part of the company re-brand, the products have also been re-branded:

Old Product Names Now Product Names
Jet Express for Excel Jet Basics
Jet Professional Jet Reports
Jet Enterprise Jet Analytics
Jet Web Portal Jet Hub
  Jet Budgets

As you can see, the Jet Reports name itself is not going away; instead Jet Professional has been re-branded to Jet Reports. My initial thought was that I didn’t like Jet Professional being re-branded to Jet Reports as this could cause confusion for clients, but I think the reality is that most clients already refer to Jet Professional as Jet Reports.

Jet Global also promise that existing users and partners “will experience the same level of service and even more features and functionality now than ever before, and there will be no significant changes to the way Jet Global conducts business with its global partners and customers”.
