Anyone else think the new App multiple audiences is not working properly?

[Anonymous]

I try and publish a report to the Workspace....then update the App...and the report never shows up.   I have one report there, but I cannot seem to add another.  

The experience seems buggy at best.   Anyone else had issues?

@Burningsuit    Thanks for the help.   There does seem to be several issues.   One in particular that I am seeing (which is causing this to be an unworkable solution for my company) is that Reports keep disappearing.   They are there one minute...then gone the next.    No way I can use this feature with that type of issue.

@Burningsuit     Two other things I've noticed...be curious if others have noticed as well:

1.  The yellow "reset" button does not change to yellow in the App enviroment  (like it does in a Workspace).   So if you are in an App, that little arrow circle will not change to yellow when a change to the report is made.   

2. Also, drill thru to another report does not work.   I had read somewhere that if the reports were in the same App, then drill thru from one report to the other would work.   It does not from what I can tell.

Where is the eye icon?   I don't see it anywhere

Hi @Anonymous 

You need to go via "Update App", then on the (3) Audience tab, move your mouse over the navigation items on the left hand side, you see the Eye Icon pop up for each navigation item.

You'll need to check this for each Audience you have created. 

Once you've published an App, adding any content to it is added with the view turned off for all Audiences, you have to turn the new content on for whichever Audience is appropriate.

Hope this helps

Hi @Anonymous 

Lots of people are getting caught by this one.

In the new App experience this is the default when adding new content to an existing App. The Content is added with the visibility set as "hidden" for all Audiences. You have to go and "turn on" visibility (click on the eye icon) for each Audience you want to see the content.

But also yes, there seems to be a number of issues with the new App UI, Microsoft does say it is in "Preview" but I feel it's still too early to move away from the old UI for production work.

Hope this helps
