RIght now, on powerbi.com, there is no ability to organize reports, dashboards, etc into folders. If you have a lot of content or users, this gets messy quickly.

Please add the ability to organize into folders (and secure those folders separately)

Does this grouping function provide ability to set access control by organization?

What is going on with this issue? It should be included in the first update.
Its already too late!

The current preview of the new navigation is not better. If the 'Owner' is always the workgroup, that doesn't really help much. I have 20 analysts utilizing one workgroup building reports off of one dataset and sharing them via content packs, we need more flexibility on how we group and categorize the reports within the workgroup than the current preview allows.

Needs to be some kind of organization. My preference would be tags on reports with the ability to create "Smart Folders" based on a query. I also want to be able to create these folders for users, not count on each of them to make their own structure.

When can we have this ability to organize reports on PowerBI? I think this is a necessity feature that PowerBI should consider. Please help

Arranging the dashboard is the best way for organizing

Is there any update on the "ability to better organize your content" referenced by Amanda Cofsky?

Supporting all that was said in other comments. This is a must have feature.
