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)

It will be really good to have folders in Microsoft Fabric. Its so hard to search for artefacts including dataflows, pipelines, notebooks etc.


They are all over the place. Something like in Azure Synapse will be nice!!

We just moved a lot of reports from SQL Reporting Services to Power BI. SSRS allowed us to organize the reports in nice logical hierarchy, but organizing them in PBI is painful.

I am still in disbelief this doesn't exists. I feel like I am using a BI tool from 1990. This should have been an out of the box function the first day this tool was released.

Please add this as soon as possible! Workspaces are becoming increasingly busy and difficult to manage. Filtering between dataflows, datasets, reports etc is also only available in the filter dropdown (it used to be icons in the menu) and this adds additional clicks.

Hello,


On the workspace tab, to improve the organization, it will be a great idea to have the posibility to create folders.

In a folder I can group: Dataflow, datalakes, etc. from the same project.


Here is an example:

There is a lot of excitement over Power BI, but I think this could quickly change because finding/Organizing content is limited to one level of workspaces.

This is causing us to create so many workspaces and then with the pipelines its blowing up even larger number of workspaces. Apps are great, but I don't think Apps meets all of our needs, and it just feels like it adds an additional layer of complexity.
