Hi smpa01,

 

No - this has been a common request over the years (including from me), as many people want to do the same. But MS unfortunately has no APIs for pages or bookmarks, or plans to add them.

 

Regards,

 

Daniel

    Thanks for this. I would really love from someone from MS to give some input on this. The native bookamark and nav is too complex to use and needs LOTS of manual effort. Since MS has already given the DEV access to viz, I wish they also open this wiring to the DEV too. It is far more easier to solve it progrmatically. Currently the bookmark and nav setup requires changes in multiple places - it's not a single source of truth. A modular, programmatic contract would mean you define it once and everything follows (analogous to modular build).

      Hi smpa01 ,

      Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.

      At the moment, there isn’t a supported way in the custom visuals SDK to trigger page navigation. The IVisualHost  APIs don’t provide a method to switch report pages, so handling navigation across pages from within a custom visual isn’t currently possible.

      You can also refer to the Visual API documentation for more details:
      Visual API for Power BI Visuals - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

       

      If this is something you’d like to see improved, it would be worth raising it on the Fabric Ideas forum so it can be reviewed for future consideration:
