Multiple Apps within Workspace (Best Practice)

[Del235]

If I have a workspace with multiple reports, but need to create multiple apps with subsets of the reports, Is it best to do them within a single workspace or multiple workspaces which contain a single app?

@Del235 I would use Audiences for this as this is the least amount of overhead by far and Audiences were specifically introduced to fill this gap. But, without a full list of business requirements, can't say anything for certain.

Hi @Del235 ,

Thanks for the reply from Greg_Deckler .

Create different apps from the same workspace. Use one workspace for multiple audience groups. There is a navigation pane to help users access different reports and dashboards.

Consider using separate workspaces if you provide different sets of reports to different groups of developers or data analysts. For example, if you need to share a report with two different audiences, create two workspaces, each containing the relevant reports.

In summary, use workspaces for development and sharing, and leverage apps to organize and distribute content. Whether to use a single workspace or multiple workspaces depends on your specific requirements and audience separation needs.
