Jamf Power BI Integration - Custom Connector

This custom connector workflow requires Jamf Pro 10.48 or higher.

Refer to the install guide pdf for installation and conenction settings.

Developer set-up

VS Code on Windows is the recommended development environment. Note that the Power Query SDK is required and is only available on Windows.

  1. On Windows, launch Visual Studio Code.
  2. Install the Power Query SDK extension from the extensions marketplace.
  3. Open the folder powerbi/JamfPro in VS Code.
  4. Select Setup workspace… from the Power Query SDK tools.
  5. Go to Terminal → Run Build Task.

The .vscode directory includes the Power Query project environment settings and a default build task to assemble a .mez file and copy it to the repository's root directory. That resulting file can be placed in your 'Custom Connector' folder for use in Power BI Desktop.

Branching strategy and contributions

  • main is protected and reflects the latest published version of the connector.
  • develop is the default branch for development. Any pull requests should be made against this branch.

CI

None yet, but a GitHub Action will be added to automate the build process. Until then, keep the .mez file in the repository root directory up-to-date with any code changes.
