Question about App Design
HI Anonymous,
At the first, power bi report page allows you to use a larger size report page (use scroll bar to show different parts) to display more visualizations. But if you add a large page with lots of elements, they may cause a ton of performance issues that will appear when 'data loading', 'interaction' with filters, complex DAX expressions calculation, etc. (you can trace with 'performance analyzer': Use Performance Analyzer to examine report element performance )
Notice: since these contents are host on a cloud server, so power bi service also contains the limitation of visuals resource usage.
This is the reason why we do not recommend adding too much content on the same report pages.
Second, power bi desktop and service not existed the parallel loading features that allow you to scroll to another report pages(current it seems only available in power bi mobile app), you need manually switch between report page or try to create bookmarks and use them to navigation between report pages.

I understand that is will cause some loading issues but I just want to add a few additional visualizations.
Sorry if I am misunderstanding, but is it possible to create the view that allows you to scroll down for additional visuals using the Power BI Desktop? I want to be able to display more in one tab of my App than just one Power BI Desktop Report view.
Hi Anonymous ,
You might be referring to the Dashboard. On the Dashboard, you can take some, one or all visuals from some one or all report tabs and put them together. You can resize them as well. Then, use the dashboard to push to the app. Is that what you are asking about?
I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
So I will need to create a dashboard, then use dashboard to create an App, this will allow me to have a larger visual area by scrolling down?
Just to be clear, dashboards aren't able to be sliced/filtered by other users but If I use the dashboard visuals in an App, other users can filter the visuals?
Hey Anonymous ,
Your first sentence is correct - you can resize visuals on the dashboard. The second sentence is a bit more complex - it depends on the type of visual and the filters/slicers that are available and exactly what you mean by slicer/filter and whether or not you have drilldowns, etc. etc. Dashboard tiles are filtered based on the time that you pin the tile so there is not a "filter" like in the report. Therefore, if this is really about the size of the visual AND the ability for the user to filter and slice at will, why not modify your report to have more pages, with larger visuals? ANd then share the report page?
