Configure Direct Lake Mode for Semantic Model

You work for MDFT Pro. You have a custom Direct Lake semantic model named MODEL1 that contains one billion rows of data. You use Tabular Editor to connect to MODEL1 by using the XMLA endpoint.

You need to ensure that when users interact with reports based on MODEL1, their queries always use Direct Lake mode.

Which semantic model option should you configure?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Configure the Default Mode option is incorrect. The Default Mode option is used to set the default query mode for the entire model, but it doesn't specifically enforce Direct Lake mode for all queries.
Configure the Partition Mode option is incorrect. The Partition Mode option is used to set the storage mode for individual partitions, but it doesn't enforce Direct Lake mode for all queries.
Configure the Storage Location option is incorrect. The Storage Location option determines where the model data is stored, but it doesn't control the query mode used when accessing the data.
Configure the Direct Lake Behavior option is correct.
