Sisense Git Integration Limitations

The Sisense Git Integration feature involves huge changes across the entire application resulting in the following limitations as we keep improving it:

  • Dashboards and Data Models are the only currently supported asset types.
  • HTTPS is the only supported authentication method for connecting to remote repositories.
  • Merge and conflict resolution are not supported in the Sisense Git Integration GUI. The user will have to handle this on a remote repository first, and then Git pull in the updates to the Sisense project.
  • The ability to edit changed files directly in the Sisense GUI is not currently supported.
  • Multitenancy - Git can only be used in the main system tenant environment, not by the organization tenants.
  • Folders are not tracked by Git (Asset Translation and Management). Therefore, promoting a dashboard that is included in a folder on the dev environment will not recreate this folder on the prod environment, resulting in the new dashboard being located in the general list of dashboards.

  • Data Security is not tracked by Git projects. Therefore, changes will not be migrated between the environments.
