There is no favorites option for a report when in an App. The star appears next to reports in the App workspace, and also in the recent tab, however users will often not have access to the App workspace so this is not sufficient.

I agree with the other comments, this would be extremely useful for larger organizations and would be a huge time saver while preventing unnecessary confusion.

This is a must to successfully deploy this tool across the enterprise per the recommendation from Microsoft to use Apps.

Our (300+) users were using Favourites when we published everything under workspaces. We have since moved to consumption through apps, and are getting many complaints due to the inability to favourite reports.

What is the point of logging in when information is not carried over? I regularly receive report links (to the online version), and now I cannot retrieve that information in the desktop/app, even though I need to log in there

Our users loved using the Favourites when we published everything under workspaces however since we upgraded to a Premium Dedicated Capacity license and publish reports under Apps, it feels like we've taken a step backwards.

Yes, crucial when using Premium capacity, where most users access most content via apps. Should be able to "favorite" both reports and dashboards that are in apps.

RE: Cannot Favorite a report from within an App

Considering the new Home (preview) feature in the service, if a user only has access to Apps then they will never see dashboard tiles at the top of their Home. If they can favorite dashboards within their Apps then the dashboard tiles section of their Home will get populated. Adding report and dashboard favorites within an App is a necessary feature.
