Hi all, hi @Ruth! First thank you so much for another great video. Apps are fantastic. I use Apps for all Consumers, but there's always opportunities to improve everything (I think)... So, regarding to this Microsoft needs (at least I think so, hahahah) to allow "multiple apps from same workspace"! Why? Because sometimes we may need to have one WorkSpace with multiple reports, but not necessary all these reports for the same Consumers. When you give access to a specific App, everything under the WS attached to this App will be available for all Consumers, no matter if any Consumer has or has not access to a specific report. This is not good because force us to create more and more WSs and sometimes this is not necessary. Another issue / challenge related or close to this App stuffs is to be possible to "subscribe others to emails for reports or dashboards AND APPs that have RLS". For all here, please help voting as follows: >>> Create multiple apps from same workspace: ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/19440916-create-multiple-apps-from-same-workspace >>> Subscribe others to emails for reports or dashboards that have RLS: ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/34449625-subscribe-others-to-emails-for-reports-or-dashboar

Very helpful, other videos I’ve seen didn’t explain what you have. This hits the nail on the head for me.

Thank you for sharing the difference succinctly and clearly !

Thank you for the video. This was exactly what I was looking for. I was quite confused on why Apps existed in the first place, but you explained it very nicely. Now I just need to explain to my report consumers why we need to switch from Workspaces to Apps. :)

Very helpful. Only you explain this difference clearly.

Thanks Ruth - this has helped me understand the myriad of options available.

As usual, brilliant. I’ve been using Apps for long and I fully agree with you except one point. I do prefer “old” Apps rather new ones. I use panels as a “navigation tree” to reach the report user needs, and it works. Thanks for your help. Your videos make our lives easier.

This is fantastic Ruth! Really value your talent of explaining things. It all seems so obvious now! Thanks ❤❤❤

This makes me understand apps vs workspaces better. Thanks

Totally agree. I would create dev and test work spaces (eg: lineAreaName-Dev and lineAreaName-Test then publish from test to an app for business users. Perhaps even have a workspace with lineAreaName-prod to use as a backup of App area. Love the app store feedback and rating / usage info idea! Good info for developers and consumers.

Thanks @Ruth, Thanks again for the great video. I’m using the exact same way. I’m creating APPs from my workspaces and allowing consumers to use APPs. I have large audience hence I use premium capacity and uses Azure AD security groups to provide access. When publishing as an APP I use the option to install the APP automatically so my consumers don’t require to find the APP. Cheers Chamila

@Ruth, thanks for the video. Still one of the most up-to-date and informative videos on YT on the subject! Helped my team decide to go all in on apps as our primary sharing method. Btw, what application do you use for annotating the screen like that?

Nicely explained ....Cleared most of the doubts....

I totally agree with You Ruth regarding usage of Workspaces and Apps.

Thank you for this informative video... Even your kitchen looks like a tutorial class :), as I saw something that looks like a blackboard behind you.

clear explanation, thank you very much :)

Thank you for explanation

What are the best ways to unpublish reports from an app?

Can I make a mobile layout be available to consumers in my organisation thru a app?

THANKS

Hi Ruth I wanted to know, what are the capabilities of the end-users consuming reports from an app? I mean, can they themselves set alerts, pin tiles to a dashboard and things like these? Thank you.

Hi All Hi @Ruth , I am having issues in power BI We have created a power bi report and have given viewer role to the users in workspace and also have given them app(build) access to them on dataset. We are using June 2019 version. The issue is when ever I update the dataset with any changes in the report the end users who have have created there own reports using this very workspace are not able to load those reports. Please it would be great if you helped out on this. Or if you make a video on how end users(free and pro) should be given access to datasets. Akshay

For a big organization, there are too many apps to looking for. Another issue is confidentiality, how certain apps are only visible to a particular population , for example planners?

Brilliant video!

I’m pretty sure SSRS had a very simplistic consumer facing experience... clearly the new Microsoft dev team lacks the sophisticated thinking it took to deliver that in comparable powerBI experience without some serious trial by error?

This one is long overdue actually....

Remove "a" from the title!

Thank you for sharing the difference succinctly and clearly !
