Distinguish between report and dashboard
if I have access to powerbi product that contains many different visuals published to service, how to tell if this is a report or a dashboard? Previously I thought that, dashboard does not allow nivagation to another report or any other dashboards nor it can have botton and nivagation elements? Now, I was told that, it can have nivagation elements and allow nivagatons to another pages? Is that correct? I m really confused?
Hi Ajaal
Assuming your question is purely technical:
A dashboard like the one in the attached image is a collection of visualizations without the ability to filter or interact between them.
Clicking on a visualization takes you to the report from which the visualization is pinned.
+ For the dashboard, there are other actions offered in the toolbar. See what I markedThe report has slicers, interactions, and other toolbar options, please refer to the examples :

Hi Ajaal - In simple terms, Report and dashboard
- Report Example: You have a multi-page report with detailed visuals on each page, allowing you to drill down into data, apply filters, and interact extensively with the data.
- Dashboard Example: You have a single-page view with key metrics displayed in tiles. Clicking on any tile takes you to the detailed report from which it was pinned for deeper analysis.

Appreciate your Kudos!!But if the report from which the clicked visual pinned has multiple pages, will I be able to nivagate to those other pages using nivagating elements in that report and then go back to dashboard?
Thnx for replying ..

Hi Ajaal ,
You can look at the URL .You can compare URL's incase if you want to know whether you are accessing the right report/dashboard.
Thanks,
