    Hi biswedishdevil,

     

    You an go to My Workspace, then create a content pack, publish to that specific app group follow Create and publish an organizational content pack (tutorial).

     

    Then in the app workspace, assume you have edit permission, then you can use Get Data-> My organization to get content pack, the report will display in that app workspace.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

mvanderlee There are additional options to copy reports from one workspace to another via powershell commands if you are trying to accomplish moving reports to other locations. Otherwise, follow the design of the product and build reports in the Desktop in order to have the additional flexibility. There are a small number of use cases where you have to build reports in Service, and in those cases where you want to, you will be limited by what you can create (measures, etc), and will need to work with more advanced techniques to move things around.

Follow the design? The design is poolry thought out and constructed with too many limitations. Period.

    I'll just mention as a follow-up that we gave up on using the tool.  Getting data out of our corporate architecture and into a place where Power BI could use it proved more or less indefensible to our IT team.  It was deemed a security hazard.  So at that point the shortcomings just piled on too high to continue.

     

    It's replacement, believe it or not, is Excel. 

     

    We drive data to a template Excel file via WebFOCUS/I-Way (where you can export every doggone thing in any direction you want by the way) and let Excel's map feature present our color gradients in the main tab.  I had it up and running in production in about a day.

     

    I think we need to wait for Power BI to reach version 3.51 before we give it another go.
