Power BI App Report Notification

I am looking for a solution within the Power BI service environment to best notify app report users of dataflows refresh issues. We utilize dataflows for the majority of our report data sources and recently Power BI service has been experiencing issues with the refreshing of dataflows. Unfortunately the users of app reports are not aware that data is not updated because the report datasets connected to the dataflows still refresh and the data updated at the top of the report indicates the refresh of the dataset even though it is old data. It would be ideal if there was a way to notify users that open any app report that we are currently experiencing dataflows refresh issues, but outside of creating individual notifications within each report, there doesn't appear to be a more direct way to notify report users of the current issues. Has anyone come across or come up with an efficient way of posting a notification across all app reports about Power BI issues so the user is aware data might not be accurate at that point?

HI @Anonymous ,

 

There is no way at the moment to mass notify folks.  I thought that I had voted for an idea for this (like a splash screen).  However, you might think of adding a separate report that is something like "last dataflow success or fail".  Or, you could put in a field in each report that comes from the dataflow that indicates the last date of success.
