How do a create a dataset from data behind an enterprise gateway?

Just getting started with PowerBi and I want to use the SaaS PowerBi app (not PowerBi Desktop) to create some dashboards against an on-premises SQL Server.  I have installed the PowerBi Enteprise Gateway and configured it.  It appears to be working properly as when I click 'Test Connection' I get 'good to go'.  So the connection from PowerBi to the Gateway to the on-premises SQL Server appears to be working.

 

What I don't understand is how to access the data behind the gateway.  I assume that I need to create a dataset but when I select 'Get Data' there is no option to select the enterprise gateway.  What am I missing?  Perhaps something very obvious.  What do i need to do to create datasets based on the on-premises data?

This just switched over like March 31st, so it may not be working quite correctly just yet, but what you are supposed to do is to create a connection in the Enterprise Gateway to your SSAS cube. Then, you use Get Data | Databases&More | SQL Server Analysis Services and your published connections in your Enterprise Gateway are supposed to show up.

 

Check out the Add data source section here:
