Report Naming

 Report naming standards are based on the ability to organize Power BI report within the Cloud services. Currently we have decided to name report with a 3 to 4 letter abbreviation that quickly identifies the the data contained within the report, followed by a "_" (Underscore), then the actual report name.

Example: Publications Reports will start with PUB_PublicationDetails. Naming of all reports should be pre-planned prior to saving to the Published Cloud so easy location and report deployment can be completed without any confusion.
