When navigating ApptioBI via the Cloudability Standard tile from the homepage do not show the “Current View” menu when in a report that does not utilize any Cloudabilty* datasets.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Problem:

Right now when you are interacting with Apptio BI reports via the Cloudability Standard interface (https://app.apptio.com/cloudability?environmentId=c0b954ad-1f51-5ca9-b232-b91dc9226a3c#/apptiobi/reports/all) the “Current View” menu always shows, regardless of whether it applies to any of the contents in the report you're in. This means that if you're in a report that is not based on a Cloudbility* dataset, changes the view selected does nothing. However, this isn't clear to users who aren't familiar with the data backend and what underlying data sets a report may be built on. In this case the ability to interact with the view selection menu can be misleading and confusing to users expecting it to filter the data.

Request:

When in the Apptio BI, the “Current View” selection menu in the top right of the UI should only appear when in a report that utilizes a Cloudabilty* datasets. If a report does not use a Cloudability* data set in any of the report's visual configurations, the "Current View" selection menu should be hidden from users.
