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)

March 2022 Update: This is in our plans, no timeline as of yet but we are working on it

Imagine a workspace with hundreds of reports and no way to organise them. It will get messy very quickly. I cannot believe this feature was not available from day one.

Ability organize dashboards, reports and dataset in hierarchy of site (department can share or create multiple sites per LOB) - projects (across team / departments) - folders structure (this is already voted)

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

I've read somewhere that a user can be a part of a maximum of a 1000 workspaces. Currently, if you view your available workspaces, it just gives you a list of workspaces where you can search for a specific one. But if you are part of a multitude of workspaces, this can get messy.



What I'm suggesting is to allow the capacity/power bi admins to categorize created workspaces into folders/subfolders so that when end users view their available workspaces, it is neatly organized. 



Sample:



Org Root Folder

     - Standard

            - Systems Folder

                  - Workspaces

     - Clients

            - Workspaces

It was already answered by a Microsoft employee that said it was planned for sometime this year. I want to know if this feature is rolling out soon!

To better manage reports inside a workspace, make it easier to access and find them.
Please add ability to create folder and subfolders inside a Workspace.

Also make is possible to hide/disable folder.

Thanks!

currently there is not provision to create folders inside workspaces.All the reports will be lying on the workspaces and we cannot do anykind of seggregation.

I hav to create reports to several clients with several branchs so will be helpfull to have inside the WorkSaces(APPs) subApps. like a file directory. So I could have the company report in the main APP and in the sub APPS the branchs or events or departments.
