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

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.

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

This is a very important feature, users would be abble to select cards that are most significant. The workaround "copying the report for each user" sucks, because eventually the copy become old and they have to recreate all their dashboards.

This would definitely help us get support for Power BI within our organisation. Most things we deploy are read-only - if users could create dashboards in their own workspace from this content with things that are relevant to them, they would absolutely love it.

Absolutely essential at this point. Trying to fond workarounds to this problem now.

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

I completely agree that this should be a standard feature available at this point. Telling users they have to get a content pack just to pin one tile is completely inefficient.

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

I am quoting @stewardR here:
Similar: In groups where members are read-only, it would be fantastic to let them make their own dashboards in their "My Workspace" section by pinning tiles from the group reports. This is the exact grain of control that my organisation needs - Analytics team deploys reports and some main dashboards, and users can then pull the content that they want from the various pages.

This has been under review for a very long time and is a feature that is sorely needed.
