Multiple reporting server URL in managed app configurations

Hi,

I have configured reporting server URL for iOS users using the third party MDM managed app configurations as per the Microsoft KB article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/mobile/mobile-app-configuration.  Since we have both test and production PowerBI servers,i would like to know how to add multiple reporting server URL's so that users do not need to type in the server addresses.

    Theoretically you can push 2 seperate report server configurations.

    When the mobile app accepts that configuration, if the report server URL is not yet configured, it will be added to the report server list (if it already exists, then the details will be overriden by the pushed configuration).

     

    The risk in the approach is that if a certain device, did not receive the first configuration pushed (since the device was offline for example) , it will only get the latest report configuration. I would recomment to start with test server and then push the prod server.

    HI mahiroux,

    Your requirement sounds more relate to third-party tool usage, I'd like to suggest you contact the application development team to get better support.
