Need urgent help. to replicate the layout of an app-menu in Power BI Report Server, where the left side has a menu with reports and the right side displays the selected report. How to achieve this dynamically.

Note: I have 20 reports and it shoud be applicable to all Reports. If i create bookmarks and buttons then i need to add all bookmarks and buttons to 20 Pages. Its very time consuming. Any referece videos and suggestions required.

FYI...i am using PBIRS not Power Bi Service

Hello @Vandithak

Create a master navigation page that dynamically links to all 20 reports. This avoids manually configuring buttons/bookmarks on every page.

Hi, @Vandithak

While it can be time-consuming to create bookmarks and buttons for each report, you can simplify the process by using templates and copy-pasting elements. You can check out the video below:

Or create a parameter table that lists all reports. Use this table to dynamically filter and display the selected report. This video covers building dynamic reports that can be adapted to your needs:

You can design a custom navigation panel that mimics the app menu. This can be achieved through shapes, buttons, and bookmarks. You can check the following link:
