Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

LHN preview contain the WS name in the admin room only when other WS created.

What is the root cause of that problem?

we are checking if there are less than 2 workspaces we'll return prefix as ''

App/src/libs/ReportUtils.ts

Lines 4600 to 4603 in 76140d4

	const filteredPolicies = Object.values(allPolicies ?? {}).filter((policy) => shouldShowPolicy(policy, false, currentUserEmail));
	if (filteredPolicies.length < 2) {
	return '';
	}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should remove this condition

What specific scenarios should we cover in automated tests to prevent reintroducing this issue in the future?

Add tests for the function getReportSubtitlePrefix to confirm that if we have one workspace we need to return prefix

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA
