You are adding new sites to your company. The reporting team needs location-based reports in Microsoft Power B1 that include the subnet information of the new sites. You need to add the information to Microsoft Teams. What should you do?

Answer options

Correct Answer:

Explanation

To enable location-based reporting in Power BI that includes subnet information, you must upload this data to the Microsoft Call Quality Dashboard (CQD). CQD is the source for Teams call quality data used by Power BI. The process involves creating a data file (typically a .tsv or .csv) that maps network subnets to specific buildings, sites, and other location details. This file is then uploaded via the "Tenant Data Upload" page in the CQD admin portal. Once uploaded and processed, this location data becomes available within CQD reports and can be visualized in Power BI, fulfilling the reporting team's requirement.

Why Incorrect

B. From the Microsoft Teams admin center, define a network subnet.

Defining subnets in the Teams admin center is primarily for configuring cloud voice features like Location-Based Routing and dynamic emergency calling, not for CQD reporting.

C. From the Microsoft Teams admin center, define a network topology.

Defining the network topology is also for advanced voice features (Location-Based Routing, emergency calling) and does not populate the location data used by CQD for quality reporting.

D. From the Microsoft Teams admin center, add the subnets to the Network planner.

The Network planner is a pre-deployment tool used to estimate bandwidth needs and assess network readiness; it does not feed live or historical data into reporting systems like CQD.

"To be able to see location-specific information such as building or site information in CQD reports

you'll need to upload a data file containing the information... CQD includes a building data file upload feature on the Tenant Data Upload page." It details the process of mapping IP subnets (NetworkIP) to location data for reporting.

"you first need to upload your building and location data on the CQD Portal's Tenant Data Upload page." This confirms that the data upload to CQD is a prerequisite for Power BI reporting.

subnets) in the Teams admin center

specifying its purpose for "Location-Based Routing (LBR)" and "dynamic emergency calling

" which are distinct from CQD reporting.
