I've recently gotten a virtual machine and installed a personal gateway to auto-refresh my reports. However, most people in my company use the Power BI App I created to access the reports. There should definitely be a way to auto-update the app when the reports refresh. It could have it's own refresh schedule.

RE: Auto Update PBI App

I agree, it should be available as option. It will be great to add checkbox in the Publish window of Power BI desktop, to update related App. In some cases when it is really minor change . like text spelling mistake re-publish of report should not require any additional steps.

RE: Auto Update PBI App

Surprised that the option to auto update the power apps is still not working. It's essential to have this feature in order to keep all apps updated. Please take this feature in serious consideration.

RE: Auto Update PBI App

If a report can already be updated automatically, I don't see why there is no function to update our apps

RE: Auto Update PBI App

Today, when automatically updating a report via gateway, the application containing the report is not refreshed. It would be greatly apprieciated if an automatic update of the application could be done.

RE: Auto Update PBI App

Like scheduling a data refresh, it would be nice to be able to schedule the use of the "Update App" button. Rather than having to make a change in the report and then also remember to go click that button, the app could be scheduled to update by the user.

Yes, it will be great to have a related app updated as soon as a scheduled refresh of the report/dashboard is completed. Should be an option in the Settings/Scheduled Refresh.

RE: Auto Update PBI App

I agree. In fact it seems to me to defeat the purpose of an online version by not have the app auto update after editing the associated pbix file.

RE: Auto Update PBI App

I agree, I update all the reports and when executives view the "App" they ask why isnt the data updated.
