Auto Discover is an augmented analytics discovery tool for auto-analyzing your data and producing machine built analyses and visualizations. The tool can be used to find interesting correlations and patterns automatically in your data and show views of data that you may not discover on your own.
Access to Auto Discover can be managed from Profiles in the Admin Console.
- A deeper explanation of how Auto Discovery works can be found here.
Accessing Auto Discover
Auto Discover can be triggered from the Discover launch window by selecting a model to trigger a model-wide review and analysis.
Size and Performance
There is no theoretical limit on the number of columns and measures that can be used in a data model for Auto Discover. However, the bigger the footprint and the slower the database in the data model, the longer it will take to render the analysis.

Open a discovery tab and choose a server, then a database, in order to see Its models. Choose a model and Press the Auto Discovery button. The Auto Discovery dialog will open.
