Power BI Apps

Power BI apps are a combination of datasets, reports and dashboards that we want to integrate into a whole and thus share them with team members or other people in the organization. For example, if the sales department hires a new employee to have access to sales reports and dashboards, it is enough to install the Sales application. An administrator can even set such an application to be installed automatically.

Power BI applications are created in a very simple way. All you have to do is go to a named workspace other than My Workspace, select what you want to add to the app by moving the slider to the right, and then click the Create app button.

After inducing this action, a form will appear on the screen in which we add the name and short description of the application, logo, address of the support site as well as the selection of information about the author that will be public. By clicking on the Publish app we will publish the app. Power BI will automatically generate a link to its page and offer us to share it with other users.

How do we install the existing application? We need to click on the Get Data button and then select My Organization/Get.

Then we need to click on the application we want to install. At the bottom of the window there is a Show endorsed apps only check box. If it is selected in the window we will see only the previously endorsed applications.
