    Hi cdelladonna,

    You are able to set different tiles to point to different report pages. You can check the example in the following screenshot, I create a central dashboard, pin visuals in different pages of “as” report and “DialGauge”  report to this dashboard. To make each tile be easily recognizable, I add report name in the title of each tile.



    For more details about editing tile in Power BI, please review this article: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-edit-a-tile-in-a-dashboard/ .

    Thanks,
    Lydia Zhang

I would think that you could create a text visual listing the report name for each report and pin them all to a central dashboard. You can control the links individually on the dashboard by editing each tile. If you create the tile from the report you want to link to (and then delete the visual from the report) then you wouldn't even need to manually edit anything.

The only issue with that is that there are reports with multiple sheets. Is there any way that I can have different tiles point to the different sheets? I want to try and eliminate any excess scrolling/searching through sheets. Rather, I would have all different tiles point to different report pages.

 

Thanks again.
