Seems like I can't pin a chart from another persons shared dashboard to my new personal dashboard. IT would be nice to be able to use their report on my own personal version of the dashboard.

Great idea. We have the concept of 'favorites' in the mobile iOS app, which we could bring into the dashboards with a personal dashboard too.

RE: Allow pinning of a shared dashboard's reports to a new personal dashboard

This is such a needed feature in different business environments.
Read-only reports/dashboard's visuals must be allowed to be pinned in a personal dashboard... it really kills what Power BI and sharing dynamic reports is all about!

Why isn't this available yet? What is the point of pinning tiles if you can't pin tiles shared with you? This just killed our use of Power BI in our organization.

RE: Allow pinning of a shared dashboard's reports to a new personal dashboard

This is still a HUGE need.
I have authored many reports with complex calculations that I would rather not risk modification and visual errors by granting access to the files themselves.

I am deploying them to users to whom I would like to grant the ability to pin from the shared reports onto their personalized dashboards.

How is this feature not addressed yet?
It is a very large need, especially in the CSP world of managed services.

RE: Allow pinning of a shared dashboard's reports to a new personal dashboard

I would like this feature. It is important for end users to be able to create their own dashboard without having to give them access to the report editing permissions.

RE: Allow pinning of a shared dashboard's reports to a new personal dashboard

Agree with everyone else that has posted, being able to pin read only content to a personal dashboard is hug to allow our end users to pick and choose only the most relevant items for themselves. Another essential piece to this puzzle however is being able to pin filtered tiles. Many managers want to leverage general dashboard content, but want to filter it specifically to their needs. A HUGE timesaver and it avoids the ugly workarounds like custom reports.

RE: Allow pinning of a shared dashboard's reports to a new personal dashboard

This is a critical feature for acceptance from our executive and management levels.

RE: Allow pinning of a shared dashboard's reports to a new personal dashboard

If a report is read-only, they should have the ability to pin a particular visual to create their own PERSONAL dashboard. This is a huge feature that is missed. What's the hurt here? This needs to get fixed as it is a HUGE opportunity for someone like an HR Business Partner to pin multiple tiles and create their own dashboards of metrics that are just relevant to their business stream
