Data Gateways and Refreshing Datasets

So far, we have spent quite a bit of time in the Service working with reports, dashboards, apps, and security. Throughout this book, we have learned how to create data models and reports and then publish and share our work using the Service. However, it is the nature of data to change over time. New data gets added or existing rows are deleted or changed. Hence, once our work is in the Service, how do we keep our work up to date with new data without having to manually refresh the data in the Desktop and republish it? Luckily, the Service contains even more functionality that allows us to keep our data refreshed.
