Power BI mobile app sending incorrect links when sharing

If I connect to our Power BI Report Server using the mobile app, and then annotate and share a report page, the mobile app sends a link to a non-existent report in the Power BI SERVICE, instead of a valid link to the Report Server report. 

 

How do I fix this? 

This is extremely confusing for our users.  

 

Thanks, 

Audrey

    Hi aabbey,

     

    I'm not very clear the issue, would you please record a video to show the issue?

    I can't do a video, but will post the steps I am taking, and screenshots. 

     

    Steps:

    1. Establish a VPN 

    2. Connect toPower BI Report Server using Mobile App

    3. Navigate to report

    4. Annotate/Share report 

    5. Mobile app will send an email with an image attachment and a link. 

     

    Mobile app capture:

    Shows the mobile app is connected to the Report Server, and not signed into the Service. 

     

    Screenshot 1 - 

    This shows the email I received with the link showing. 

    That link is taking me to Power BI Service, not my report server. 

     

    Screenshot 2 - 

    This shows what happens when I try to follow the link. 

    The report doesn't exist in Power BI Service, of course. 

    It is on our report server, not the cloud. 

     

    I need that link to properly reflect the Report Server address, not the Power BI Service. 

    This is causing tremendous confusion for my users. 

     

    Thanks for the help, 

    Audrey

    Additional note:

    I updated the Power BI app on my iPhone, just in case. 

     

    That did NOT solve the problem. 

     

    Best,
