My report has close to 15 Report tabs. Mostly due to Regions specific reports.

Would be great if there was a way I could neatly organize my Report Tabs by grouping, say, Region specific Tabs under a main Tab.
Or even if it could work like a Drop down Menu

You can take it one step ahead and allow us to Share only these group of Tabs to set of users. :)

RE: Report Tabs - Collapsible/Group

This would really help us as well.

So it would exactly be like the navigation option in Apps (which is great) but done at the report level.

In my use case, i have a report with 11 pages. I want to make 4 of those into "section headers" and then 2 or 3 are sub items per header.

This i can do via apps but would have to divide the report in four, save separetely, edit and publish seperately.

Also strongly support this improvement suggestion! It is very difficult to navigate to a specific report page tab or to manually organize tabs to be positioned in close proximity to other related tabs when you have a report with many tabs.

RE: Report Tabs - Collapsible/Group

This sounds very much so like what OneNote has, and I feel like Power BI has a lot in common with some of my favorite features in OneNote, so I definitely hope this becomes a thing.

With the arrival of the Cortana Integration coupled with Drillthrough, I think this is almost a "must-have" in Power BI as it can get really messy when trying to keep track of all "Cortana Cards" in a report.

RE: Report Tabs - Collapsible/Group

This is would be a fantastic addition as it is at the very core of the purpose of Power BI - user interaction.

For example, our main Power BI report is sales based, and there are FIVE key different ways that 99% of our organisation might want to look at the data - by product, by customer, by sales person, by production site, by sales affiliate. If I was to create 5 similar reports and aggregate them by each of the above that would be 25 tabs along the bottom. This would be very difficult to navigate, whereas 5 groups would allow be very easy and very intuitive to navigate. OneNote would be a great example!
