I am unable to pin from an App to a dashboard

[MDeFelice]

Hi everyone.

I created my first PowerBI reports and app and I can see the pin function for visualizations inside my app but the pins are greyed out so I cannot use it to pin an in app report to a dashboard.  Any ideas how I can turn that functionality on?

Thank you in advance.

It should able to pin report visuals from workspace interface not in app interface.  I found the following description in the document, but I never met your issue of pin function greyed out. 

Can you provide a screen shot of your issue? 

Best,
Paul

If you cannot pin from an app interface that answers my question... But I do not understand why you cannot.  The Pin is there (but greyed out) and it greatly reduces the functionality of the app vs the the report.  

There is no background image... I will attach a screen shot:

notice how the pin is greyed out in the app view

This function has been mentioned in the 2018 plan, however it is not release yet. 

See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/business-applications-release-notes/april18/power-bi/service/pin-ap...

The idea has been raised by users, you could vote up the issue here to help the team improve Power BI products.
