Problem:
Many organisations use Power BI workspace folders and nested subfolders to organise reports by department, business area, project, or function. While this structure helps keep content organised, it becomes difficult to quickly identify:
How many reports exist within a workspace
Which folders and subfolders contain reports
Where a specific report is located
Which reports are included in a published App
Which reports are no longer used or duplicated
Currently, users must manually navigate through each folder and subfolder to locate reports. In large workspaces containing dozens or hundreds of reports, this process is time-consuming and inefficient.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a Workspace Content Explorer or Folder Inventory View that provides a consolidated view of all workspace content, including:
Folder hierarchy and subfolder structure
Report count per folder
Complete list of reports with folder paths
Search and filter capabilities
App publication status
Ability to export the inventory to Excel/CSV
Option to view reports in a tree structure or flat list
