First, the user must enable the wake word from within Cortana settings. Once it has been enabled, a component of Windows called the [Windows Multiple Voice Assistant platform](/windows-hardware/drivers/audio/voice-activation-mva#voice-activation) will start listening for the wake word. No audio is processed by speech recognition unless two local wake word detectors and a server-side one agree with high confidence that the wake word was heard.
The first decision is made by the Windows Multiple Voice Assistant platform leveraging hardware optionally included in the user&#39;s PC for power savings. If the wake word is detected, Windows will show a microphone icon in the system tray indicating an assistant app is listening.

If the service does not confirm that the activation was valid, the audio will be discarded and deleted from any further processing or server logs. On the user&#39;s PC, the Cortana app will be silently dismissed, and no query will be shown in conversation history because the query was discarded.

# Set up and test Cortana for Power BI in your organization
>[!IMPORTANT]
>Cortana for Power BI is deprecated and will not be available in future releases. This topic is provided as a reference for previous versions only.
Integration between Cortana and Power BI shows how Cortana can work with custom business analytics solutions to enable you to get answers directly from your key business data, including introducing new features that let you create custom Cortana “answers” using the full capabilities of Power BI Desktop.
>[!Note]
>Cortana for Power BI is currently only available in English. For more info about Cortana and Power BI, see [Use Power BI to create a custom Answer Page for Cortana](https://powerbi.microsoft.com/documentation/powerbi-service-cortana-desktop-entity-cards/).
## Before you begin
To use this walkthrough, youll need:
- **Windows 10 or Windows 11**. Youll need your PC to be running at least Windows 10, version 1703 or later, or Windows 11.
- **Cortana**. You need to have Cortana turned on and be logged into your account.
- **Power BI account with data**. You can use an existing Power BI account, or else you can get a trial account by signing up at http://powerbi.com. Just make sure that either way, you enter some data that you can use.
- **Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)/Work or School account**. You can use the account that you created for Office 365, or you can create a new one while youre establishing your Power BI account. If you choose to use Azure AD, you must connect your Azure AD account to your Windows account.
**To connect your account to Windows**
a. Open **Windows Settings**, click **Accounts**, click **Access work or school**, and then in the **Connect to work or school** section, click **Connect**.
b. Follow the instructions to add your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account to Windows.
## Set up your test environment for Cortana for Power BI
Before you can start this testing scenario, you must first set up your test environment and data, and then you must turn on and set up Cortana to connect and work with Power BI.
**To set up your test environment with Cortana and Power BI**
1. Go to http://powerbi.com and sign-in with the same O365 credentials you used in the Set up and use Cortana with Office 365 topic.
2. Expand the left rail by clicking the **Show the navigation pane** icon.
![Cortana at work, showing the navigation expand icon in Power BI.](../images/cortana-powerbi-expand-nav.png)
3. Click **Get Data** from the left-hand navigation in Power BI.
![Cortana at work, showing the Get Data link.](../images/cortana-powerbi-getdata.png)
4. Click **Samples** from the **Content Pack Library** area of the **Get Data** screen.
![Cortana at work, showing Samples link](../images/cortana-powerbi-getdata-samples.png)
5. Click **Retail Analysis Sample**, and then click **Connect**.
![Cortana at work, showing the Samples link.](../images/cortana-powerbi-retail-analysis-sample.png)
The sample data is imported and youre returned to the **Power BI** screen.
6. Click **Dashboards** from the left pane of the **Power BI** screen, and then click **Retail Analysis Sample**.
![Cortana at work, showing a dashboard view of the sample data.](../images/cortana-powerbi-retail-analysis-dashboard.png)
7. In the upper right-hand menu, click the **Settings** icon, and then click **Settings**.
![Cortana at work, showing where to find the Settings option.](../images/cortana-powerbi-settings.png)
8. Click the **Datasets** tab, and then pick the **Retail Analysis Sample** dataset from the list.
9. Click **Q&A and Cortana**, check the **Allow Cortana to access this dataset** box, and then click **Apply**.
![Cortana at work, showing where to find the dataset options.](../images/cortana-powerbi-retail-analysis-dataset.png)
>[!NOTE]
>It can take up to 30 minutes for a new dataset to appear for Power BI and Cortana. Logging in and out of Windows, or otherwise restarting Cortana, causes the new content to appear immediately.<p>If you enable a dataset for Cortana, and that dataset is part of a content pack you own, youll need to re-publish for your colleagues to also use it with Cortana.
## Create a custom Answer Page for Cortana
You must create special reports, known as _Answer Pages_, to display the most commonly asked answers in Cortana. For example, if you want Cortana to quickly show sales data to your employees, you can create a 2016 sales data Answer Page that shows sales data, with various pivots, in Cortana.
After youve finished creating your Answer Page, you can continue to the included testing scenarios.
>[!NOTE]
>It can take up to 30 minutes for a custom Answer Page to appear for Power BI and Cortana. Logging in and out of Windows, or otherwise restarting Cortana, causes the new content to appear immediately.
**To create a custom sales data Answer Page for Cortana**
1. In Power BI, click **My Workspace**, click **Create**, and then click **Report**.
![Cortana at work, showing where to create the new report.](../images/cortana-powerbi-create-report.png)
2. In the **Create Report** screen, click the **Retail Analysis Sample**, and then click **Create**.
A blank report page appears.
3. In the **Visualizations** pane, click the paint roller icon, expand **Page Size**, and then pick **Cortana** from the **Type** drop-down list.
![Cortana at work, showing the Visualizations options.](../images/cortana-powerbi-pagesize.png)
4. In the **Fields** pane, click to expand **Sales**, expand **This year sales**, and then add both **Value** and **Goal**.
![Cortana at work, showing the Field options.](../images/cortana-powerbi-field-selection.png)
The automatically generated graph is added to your blank report. You have the option to change colors, add borders, add additional visualizations, and modify this page so that it answers the question about sales data as precisely, and in as custom a way, as you want. You just need to make sure that it all stays within the page borders.
5. In the **Visualizations** pane, click the paint roller icon again, expand **Page Information**, type _Sales data 2016_ into the **Name** box, turn on **Q&A**, and then add alternate report names (separated by commas) into the text box.
The alternate names help Cortana to know what questions to look for and when to show this report. To also improve your results, you should avoid using the names of your report columns.
![Cortana at work, showing the page info for your specific report.](../images/cortana-powerbi-report-qna.png)
6. Click **File**, click **Save as**, and save the report as _Sales data 2016_.
Because this is part of the Retail Analysis Sample, it will automatically be included as part of the dataset you included for Cortana. However, you will still need to log in and out of Windows, or otherwise restart Cortana, before the new content appears.
## Test Scenario: Use Cortana to show info from Power BI in your organization
Now that youve set up your device, you can use Cortana to show your info from within Power BI.
**To use Cortana with Power BI**
1. Click on the **Cortana** icon in the taskbar, and then click in the **Search** bar.
2. Type _This year in sales_.
Cortana shows you the available results.
![Cortana at work, showing the best matches based on the Power BI data.](../images/cortana-powerbi-search.png)
3. In the **Power BI** area, click **This year in sales in Retail Analysis Sample**.
Cortana returns your custom report.
![Cortana at work, showing your custom report from Power BI.](../images/cortana-powerbi-myreport.png)

>For more info about how to connect your own data, build your own custom Power BI cards and Answer Pages for Cortana, and how to share the cards with everyone in your organization, see [Use Power BI to create a custom Answer Page for Cortana](https://powerbi.microsoft.com/documentation/powerbi-service-cortana-desktop-entity-cards/).

Working with a developer, you can create voice commands that use Cortana to perform voice-enabled actions in your line-of-business (LOB) Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. These voice-enabled actions can reduce the time necessary to access your apps and to complete simple actions.

Cortana uses a Voice Command Definition (VCD) file, aimed at an installed app, to define the actions that are to happen during certain vocal commands. A VCD file can be very simple to very complex, supporting anything from a single sound to a collection of more flexible, natural language sounds, all with the same intent.

When a user enters a search query (by speech or text), Cortana evaluates if the request is for any of our first-party compliant skills if enabled in a specific market, and does the following actions:
1. If it is for any of the first-party compliant skills, the query is sent to that skill, and results/action are returned.
2. If it is not for any of the first-party compliant skills, the query is sent to Bing for a search of public results from Bing.com. Because enterprise searches might be sensitive, similar to [Microsoft Search in Bing](/MicrosoftSearch/security-for-search#microsoft-search-in-bing-protects-workplace-searches), Bing Answers in Cortana has implemented a set of trust measures, described below, that govern how the separate search of public results from Bing.com is handled. The Bing Answers in Cortana trust measures are consistent with the enhanced privacy and security measures described in [Microsoft Search in Bing](/MicrosoftSearch/security-for-search). All Bing.com search logs that pertain to Cortana traffic are disassociated from users&#39; workplace identity. All Cortana queries issued via a work or school account are stored separately from public, non-Cortana traffic.

## How the Bing Answer policy configuration is applied
Before a query is sent to Bing for a search of public results from Bing.com, the Bing Answers service checks with the Office Cloud Policy Service to see if there are any policy configurations that pertain to the user for allowing Bing Answers to respond to questions users ask Cortana. If the user is a member of an AAD group that is assigned that policy configuration, then the appropriate policy settings are applied and a check is made again in 10 minutes.

The following Windows PowerShell commands demonstrate how you can call the Get-AppAUMID function after you've created it.
```powershell
# Get the AUMID for OneDrive
Get-AppAUMID -AppName OneDrive
# Get the AUMID for Microsoft Word
Get-AppAUMID -AppName Word
# List all apps and their AUMID in the Start menu
Get-AppAUMID
```

In Windows client, you can install the **Kiosk Browser** app from Microsoft to use as your kiosk app. For digital signage scenarios, you can configure **Kiosk Browser** to navigate to a URL and show only that content -- no navigation buttons, no address bar, etc. For kiosk scenarios, you can configure additional settings, such as allowed and blocked URLs, navigation buttons, and end session buttons. For example, you could configure your kiosk to show the online catalog for your store, where customers can navigate between departments and items, but arent allowed to go to a competitor's website.

## Secure your information
Avoid selecting Windows apps that may expose the information you dont want to show in your kiosk, since kiosk usually means anonymous access and locates in a public setting like a shopping mall. For example, an app that has a file picker allows the user to gain access to files and folders on the user's system, avoid selecting these types of apps if they provide unnecessary data access.

## App configuration
Some apps may require additional configurations before they can be used appropriately in assigned access. For example, Microsoft OneNote requires you to set up a Microsoft account for the assigned access user account before OneNote will open in assigned access.
