PowerBI Custom Visual - Enhance the initial view.

dakdgdl — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 10:45:11 GMT

Hi Guys..

I'm developing a powerbi custom visual, witch is mostly done and ready to go.

For the better look & feel, attraction and the user guidance contents, I'm going to develop the initial empty view of the visual with some HTML tags and images and/or gif animations.

For that purpose, I need the visual to fire an event, soon after the visual instance is dragged from the visuals pane to the report/page . That means, this expected event should fire before user drag any data field from the datasource to the capabilities fields.

Currently it fires only the "update" event, when user drag a data field.

Is there any available event for this purpose, that fires just after visual dragged on to the report/page.

Or any other feasibility to apply my HTML tags and images/gifs on the initial empty view of visual.

Thanks in advance..

Lasantha.

Hi @dakdgdl,

There are capabilities that allow the update method to fire when the data view is empty, which is the Power BI visuals way to handle a landing page. Here's the MS documentation on how to set it up.

Hi dm-p,

That's really perfect..

These 2 capabilities make the update method to trigger even before drag a data field.

{

"supportsLandingPage": true,

"supportsEmptyDataView": true,

}

Thank you very much

Lasantha.
