    I got a couple of emails from the front-lines support engineer with links to basic material on bookmark configuration, etc.  Nothing pertinent to the functionality of setting a bookmark upon report load.  Nor to the issue of what I might be doing wrong if, after editing the embedding config according to the instructions, it doesn't work.

      I was able to get this working by using the actual cryptic bookmark name (e.g., Bookmark241ced39794c3f29ad5b) instead of the display name (e.g., 'Spanish').  So the working config looks like this:

       

      var config = {
      type: 'report',
      tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed,
      accessToken: accessToken,
      bookmark: {
      name: 'Bookmark241ced39794c3f29ad5b'
      },
      embedUrl: embedUrl,
      id: embedReportId,
      settings: {
      filterPaneEnabled: false,
      navContentPaneEnabled: navContentState
      },
      permissions: models.Permissions.Read,
      viewMode: models.ViewMode.View
      };

       

      To find out the bookmark name, I had to look at the layout file inside the PBIX archive.  Does anyone know of an easier way to find out the bookmark name?
