Team members can view and interact with the reports without needing direct access to your AWS environment or understanding the underlying data source configuration.

How do I configure which specific CSV files to include in my Microstrategy reports?
During the pipeline configuration, you specify file prefixes and reading dates to determine exactly which CSV Files enter your Microstrategy reports.
