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

Any update on this? Would really help when migrating from on premise to cloud.

We are currently in progress of migrating all of our dashboards & Reports to the PowerBI Service. Not being able to organize the reports/dashboards is a real problem. Please give an update.

Any update on this? It appears this issue has been around since 2015 and the last update came out almost a year ago.

At this point, the only way to organize lots of reports around the same data is to use multiple workspaces--not ideal. Please add folders for organization.

Hi Team,


@Micrsoft team - when can we expect this feature?


This is a critical feature which has been pending since 2015. Can microsoft look at this feature and come back as its difficult to manage the reports in single workspace?


Regards,

Shiva Shankar Sheela

Would be a crucial useful feature to have at least one more level of hierarchy e.g. for main workspaces:


Finance

Operations

Marketing


That contain sub-workspace


Operations - Inventory

Operations - Assets

Operations - Regions

The ability to # or tag reports with certain key words that indicates the report is centred around a particular process or persona would be helpful as well. For example in the Power BI Hub beside Endorsement, Sensitivity etc there should be a column that says Tags where report owners can use certain key words that will allow end users to filter and sort by.

Are there any updates to this idea? We are currently reviewing whether to move to PBI Online and this will cause us issues with the number of reports we are using.

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

agreed, this issue is so past due... this is a key reason for some reluctance on part of corp users to switch to pbi from other BI analytics platforms
