New app navigation pane error

[Anonymous]

Hi, I switched on the new app navigation pane for one of our apps as a trial today. So much potential in this! However, I think it has a bug in its initial release.

The dashboards we have produced show in the pane as expected, but all of our reports seem to be in a folder all of their own (see screenshot below). In the new navigation builder, the reports are not assigned to a 'section'. It seems the Power BI service is doing that by itself.

Obviously, we want to display the reports as top-level links on the left-hand side, not as part of a section.

hi, @Anonymous 

I have tested on my side, It works well.

Please refer to this blog:

Are you serious? I've read that blog in full, the experience I'm getting is not what is described in the blog. Have you actually read my post and looked at the screenshots? Everything is set up as it should be in the navigation builder, yet that's not what I see when I publish the app.

hi, @Anonymous 

In my simple sample:

I have created two section and move partial reports and dashboard into them.

It works as described in the documentation.

Thanks @v-lili6-msft 

I can see from your screenshot that you have the same issue as me, your reports have an arrow next to them to expand, rather than being clickable links.

I have put my reports into sections and I am still getting duplication within the hierarchy, as below:

This is obviously not a workable solution for end users as when they click on a report title, they would expect to be taken to the report, not open a sub-folder containing the report link.

Dashboards are fine, in both my example and yours. Why are reports treated differently?

Thanks.

hi, @Anonymous 

It seems that this is designed in this way for now.

You could submit your feedback and suggestions about it in power bi idea and vote for it, power bi product team will improve on that.
