    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

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.
