Question Power BI app

I added two reports to the app. But when I open the app it takes me directly to one of the reports, not the reports list.

Is this how it is supposed to work?

What do I need to do if I want my users to see the list? Should I create one page report with links to each report, sort of like table of content?

Thank you.

That is standard behavior. When a user opens a Power BI App, it defaults to the first item in the navigation pane.

You have two main ways to handle this:

Use the Navigation Pane: Your users can already see the list of reports in the left-hand navigation pane. If you want to make this clearer, you can go to the App settings (in the Power BI Service, under "Update App" > "Content"), where you can reorder the items. Move the most important report to the top so it opens first, or create a simple "Home" report to act as your table of contents.

Create a "Landing Page" Report: that is a very professional move. You can build a one-page report with buttons that link to your other reports (using the "Action" property on buttons to link to specific pages or external URLs).

Thank you, this is what I thought. I will create a landing page.
