Composite model without a dual-mode dimension

"Composite model without a dual-mode dimension" is one of the performance checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. The model mixes import and DirectQuery tables but n shared dimension(s) are import only. It is a low-severity finding: hygiene and maintainability, worth fixing when you next touch the object. Set the shared dimensions to Dual so they can serve both sides.

What is detected

The model mixes import and DirectQuery tables but n shared dimension(s) are import only. Every query that crosses the boundary sends a separate request to the source.

Why it matters

Hygiene and maintainability. Fix when touching the object.

How to fix it

Set the shared dimensions to Dual so they can serve both sides.
