App Workspace

A good portion of my dashbopards and reports have been created in "My Workspace".  I am now at a point where I want to package this content and distribute it through an App.

 

Is there a way to move these reports and dashboards to an alternative workspace so that I can publish and App?  (My Worksapce does not allow for App creation.)

 

Thanks.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    You will have to publish your pbix files again to the new App Workspace and then create Dashboards.

    There is no way as of now to simply move them.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    In addition, here is a similar thread in which some workarounds are mentioned. Could you go to check if it helps in your scenario? :smileyhappy:

    There is a trick that I've found:

    1. You first create a "Content Pack" from My Workspace that includes your Dashboard (it's in the up-most "Settings" menu").

    And you make it available to the Group/s of your choice.

    2. You go to another Group and Settings- --> View Content Pack and select it.

    3. That's it - you see the Dashboard in another group. It's like a "view/pointer" to the original one.

    4. Furthermore - if you like, you can right-click it and select "Copy" (Yes, now you can see this option) - and it'll create a copy (not a pointer) of it in that Group.


    Here's what I just did:

    from My Workspace, file > download report (preview).

    This downloaded a PBIX file to my PC.

    Opened it in Power BI Desktop, hit publish.

    Chose my group's workgroup.
