Microsoft® Codename "Data Hub" Feature Voting

SQL Azure Labs is a place where we test concept ideas and prototypes. We want to share our current thinking and ideas in specific areas and solicit your feedback so we can shape our future direction. Microsoft Codename “Data Hub” is a focused on enterprises who want to enable their knowledge workers to spend less time searching for the data they need and therefore have more time analyzing and sharing it. WIth this lab, enterprise IT teams can create their own “Data Hub” and empower knowledge workers to more efficiently get the information they need to drive business to the next level.

How can we improve Data Hub?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Add metadata search capability

    Allow users to search for metadata of data sources like "in which data source do I have a customer?" or "where can i find a measure InvoiceAmount?".

      In order to share the data hub with other users we need to have security features to define access policies.

          • Allow access to on-premises data sources

            I may not want to (or not be able to) upload my data to Azure Database. I'd like to be able to expose things like an oData feed, SQL database or SharePoint-hosted content via the hub, but without copying my data. Could just mean the .atomsvc file that is generated pointing at a local feed I imagine?
