Hi all,
Maybe I am blind but I can't seem to find how to add tiles like described in this article : https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-add-a-widget-to-a-dashboard/
Could it be, that this option is not available in Power BI desktop but only online ?

Hey there L,
Dashboards and dashboard tiles are a feature of Power BI service, not Power BI Desktop. While dashboards tiles cannot be created or pinned in Power BI mobile, they van be viewed and shared. And, in Power Bi mobile, you can add pictures to your dashboard with your iPhone app."

The link to the idea is:
