Access to report in app but not in navigation

I have a report that I have included in an app published to premium capacity.  There are several reports in the app and most are included in the app navigation strip.  There are a couple of reports that I want to be accessible to those with permissions in the app. but NOT be listed in the navigation.  Where do I find links to these reports that I can share?

 

A related question - how can I easily tell that I am viewing the report as part of the app rather than in the workspace?  As the workspace admin with a Pro license, the two experiences seem to look the same... is there an easy way to tell them apart that I am missing?

 

Thanks.

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

here I try to answer your second question, as I do not fully understand your 1st question.

 

This indicates accessing a report from insight a workspace:

This indicates accessing the same report from insight the app:

There is the word app in the URL that indicates you are accessing the report from inside the app.

 

There are some more subtle indicators like the navigation pane between reports. But this also depends on the design of your application. For this reason, I solely look at the url.

 

Regards,
Tom
