A well-organized home page gives users a clear entry point into a Power BI report instead of leaving them to hunt through multiple pages for the data they need. This guide walks through setting up a home page with buttons and links for smooth navigation. It's especially valuable for larger reports used by different teams.
01Plan your home page layout
Decide which pages or sections users will need to reach most often, since this shapes how the home page should be organized.

Tailor sections of the home page for different teams, giving each group quick access to the information they rely on daily.

Where possible, tie the home page into automated data refreshes so it always reflects current information for anyone landing there.
