Hi,
As we create a lot of dashboards in Power BI, is there any way to put them in a folder or categorize them?
Say in a company, we have different departments such as Sales, Manufacturing, HR etc. So can we create a hierarchy like structure in the dashboards menu on the left so that different dashboards are in different departments?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@peeyushp You don't have control over left hand side navigation menu but to manage your work properly ie dashbords within your organisation you have few options as below.
1. Group workspaces - Make use of group workspaces for each department (HR, Marketing etc) and publish pbix files straight to those groups. So create Group workspaces for HR, add HR users in that group and then publish HR pbix files to that group.
2. Content Packs - Have pbix files published to your workspace then in pbi service publish them as content pack for HR, Marketing etc. You can publish CP for entire organisation or individual users or groups (AD Groups).

@ankitpatira This will work when a user is part of a specific department. For executives, such as President/CEO who want to see all dashboards categorizing would have been helpful. If this feature is not present, then we can't help it.
Thanks!
