"Update App" report links need to be better labelled

[Anonymous]

User are consistently misunderstanding the report links provided within the "Update App" section. There are 2 different types of report links provided, one which links to the Report within the workspace, and the other providing a link to the reporting within the App itself. Its fairly common for users to grab the workspace link thinking its the app report link and then provide it out to the audience.  This means the audience gets a "you don't have access" message, which sends the wrong idea to that group.

An update to the labels would go a long way to highlight the purpose of the links.

Hi @Anonymous, 

Do you mean links in Navigation and Permissions tab when you update the app? 

I think it's easy to understand that we should share the links in Permissions tab with users. You can see the notification words: 

If I misunderstand your issue, please feel free to correct me.

Qiuyun that's the exact problem. They are both titled "Report Links".  That's all the user base sees and that's where the issue comes from.  To a regular user who is publishing an App, it isn't immediately clear that navigation pane's link is to the report in the workspace, not the link in the App itself.

Most users think that both report links are the same.  Users tend to find the navigation pane's link first, and that's what they share out.  The Permissions link is further along and also hidden away at the bottom.
