I want to be able to pin visuals from a report into an app to a custom dashboard in my workspace or in a shared workspace.

RE: ability to pin visual from app's report to custom dashboard

Besides of pinning visuals to a custom dashboard. I always loved to make an overview of all reports in a workspace by pinning them as small items on a dashboard. People are visually recognizing those reports and are happy to use them and klick on them to go to the full report. However this does not work with reports tight into an app. It would be wonderfull the same functionality which already is available if working with single reports, becomes available for reports published within an app

This is a regular request within my organization from managers that want to be able to create dashboards from a number of underlying reports without report editing/workspace access.

RE: ability to pin visual from app's report to custom dashboard

Part of our strategy is to make sure that we create an ecosystem of power BI beginner users that are autonomous. We get so many report requests that we can't keep up and a good chunk of those are taking pieces of reports into a single dashboard view. It seems odd that report viewers who have access to many reports can't pin a visual into their own created dashboard views WITHOUT getting edit rights to the underlying report. The ability to allow this feature would significantly free up people to create their own views when they already have access to the view of the data in the report when it's shared with them. Or maybe this could be remedied by making it a right or ability when you get the viewer access level in a workspace.

This would be helpful, but also helpful to have an option to allow pinning but NOT able to edit the full report.

Wow What's the point of this being a designer feature ? Really really needs to be in the average Viewers hands.

We should be able to allow users to pin a visual from a report that is residing in shared app to a dashboard. Currently, it looks like we can only pin a visual from a report that is in a workspace. Within the app, the pin is present but grayed out.

I vote for adding this capability from within an app.

This needs to happen if we are going to take Apps Seriously. I do not understand the use of apps of you do not get the functionality of being able to pin from dashboards.

Nearly 2 years on, I don't think we are getting this any time soon
