Augment the existing usage metrics feature to make it easier to see usage metrics for a Power BI app - e.g. total views/viewers for the App.

Notice that this is _already possible_ with the existing usage metrics, via customization of the pre-built report. More details in the documentation here:

RE: Usage metrics for Power BI apps

I am in the same situation as Sandfurth, I can see usage information for the Report when shared from Workspace, but data is not showing for report shared as an APP. What gets me is this is the way Microsoft wants you to do this...

RE: Usage metrics for Power BI apps

the usage metrics report is not showing all the users. We can see the usage metrics report for the users using our reports via the workspace but not via APP. I have about 150 users who got the app installed automatically, none of them are reported although I know a they use the report.

Please make sure we can track views for different versions/releases of the same app. Right now you cannot tell if users have seen app v1.0 or v2.0, for example.

RE: Usage metrics for Power BI apps

Is there currently any way that we can analyse who has viewed an app that has been created? If not then this is definitely needed!
