BEST PRACTICE FOR WORKSPACE ORGANIZATION

[Dreasor01]

Hello, 

I am looking for advice on the best practice to organize reports? Coming from the Tableau world, I am use to having folders to organize all my reports but I don't see that option in PowerBI. 

Does anyone have advise on how you have best organized your reports for your organization? 

Thanks!

@Dreasor01 So, a workspace is a logical container used to implement overall security. If your directories were used to implement different security then it is possible that you would want to have a workspace per directory. However, if your folders were purely organizational then you will want to publish the App for the workspace. There you can define folders for different reports/pages/dashboards, etc.

I have written quite a bit on this subject in my upcoming book Mastering Power BI 2nd Edition. There's a whole chapter dedicated to workspaces plus a bunch of other information on Apps, security, organization, governance, etc.
