Ideas for Project Insights

For proper comparison and analytics, we'd like to compare projects by being able to select more than 1 project_id at a time in Project Insights and in the PowerBI file listed here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/projectwise/m/mediagallery/274669

If not using the sample report, in the link above, we also tried to determine an ETL process to retrieve the data via API calls.

We tried to:

1. Extract Project Data with the APIs (please see service now ticket CS0108498 for context), most of our projects are Endeavor class projects, which iTwins API does not support.

https://developer.bentley.com/apis/itwins/operations/get-repositories-by-itwin-id/

https://developer.bentley.com/apis/storage/operations/get-top-level-folders-and-files-by-project/

https://developer.bentley.com/apis/storage/operations/get-folders-in-folder/

https://developer.bentley.com/apis/storage/operations/get-folders-and-files-in-folder/

https://developer.bentley.com/apis/library/operations/get-components/

https://developer.bentley.com/apis/library/operations/get-catalog-documents/

These calls were not sufficient enough to match the above PowerBI report (from link above)

2. Enter a list of project ids in the pbix input. (eg: (130axx-60fe-41xxx-axx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, 5b0f9d08-xxx-4xxx5-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxx)

Barring an update to the APIs to support Endeavor Class projects, our suggestion is to allow for multiple projects to be returned in the Project Insignts PowerBI Connector.
