The Retail industry data model is a key capability of the Retail data solutions in Azure Synapse. It helps you standardize your data from different retail applications and store it in a common format. You can then use it to generate insights that help you drive timely actions.

Prerequisites

  • You need the Fabric Administrator (Workspace Contributor) permission.

  • You should have enabled Retail Data solutions.

  • You should have created a workspace with Retail data solutions deployed. Dataset generation requires a personal workspace (not My workspace) configured with a license with Premium or Fabric capacity and XMLA endpoint to be enabled with Write permission in Admin portal.
