Create a Workspace in Fabric

Introduction

Workspaces are places to collaborate with colleagues to create collections of items such as lakehouses, warehouses, and reports. This article describes workspaces, how to manage access to them, and what settings are available.

Create Workspace

Step 1. To create a workspace: Select Workspaces > New workspace. The Create a workspace pane opens.

Step 2. Give a valid name for your workspace. In my example, I name the workspace as "Demo"

Step 3. Give a valid Description Name

Step 4. Click Apply

Advanced settings

Expand Advanced and you see advanced setting options:

Contact list

Contact list is a place where you can put the names of people as contacts for information about the workspace. Accordingly, people in this contact list receive system email notifications for workspace level changes.

By default, the first workspace admin who created the workspace is the contact. You can add other users or groups according to your needs. Enter the name in the input box directly, it helps you to automatically search and match users or groups in your org.

Conclusion

Workspaces can contain a maximum of 1,000 semantic models, or 1,000 reports per semantic model. Certain special characters aren't supported in workspace names when using an XMLA endpoint. As a workaround, use URL encoding of special characters, for example, for a forward slash /, use %2F.
