There are several guides out there for setting up an API-based connection to your ConnectWise Manage/PSA data in Power BI. However, there seems to be a lot of confusion on how to set up a SQL-based connection for Direct Query in Power BI or even whether it’s possible. As of this writing, the official University […]
If you’ve been using ConnectWise for a while, likely your invoice needs have changed over time. When I’m implementing a custom invoice template for a client, I’m often asked to help figure out which templates are actually used and how often.

A recent post on the ConnectWise Enhancement forums asks ConnectWise to add the ability to receive login alerts. Specifically, they wanted to be alerted if anyone was logging in at odd times in the middle of the night. While Manage doesn’t have a wizard for this, it’s easy enough to set up for yourself in […]
