Implement Bookmark in Custom Visual

diaAzul — Fri, 23 Mar 2018 15:01:14 GMT

I am trying to implement support for bookmarks within my custom visuals, following the instructions given at Power BI Report Bookmarks. However, it is not working.

I have the lastest packages downloaded from NPM:

"powerbi-visuals-utils-dataviewutils": "1.4.1"
"powerbi-visuals-utils-interactivityutils": "3.1.0"
"powerbi-visuals-tools": "1.11.2"

Note: Even though the visual tools is version 1.11.2 it is only possible to install up to API 1.10. [Note also, that the instructions for bookmarking states that SelectionManager only works with API 1.11]

I use the InteractivityService to manage selections within the visual, and can support cross highlighting / filtering with selections both within the custom visual and reciprocal behaviour from other visuals (i.e. if selections are made within other visuals then the custom visual is either filtered or highlighted as required).

Questions:

(a) The documentation states that the bookmark functionality works with version 1.11 updwards. Is that a mistake in the documentation? If not, then when will API 1.11 be made available?

(b) The documentation states that no changes are required to support bookmarking if the custom visual supports InteractivityService; however, that does not appear to be the case. When a bookmark is selected then the selection is not applied to the custom visual. Is it correct that no changes are required if the custom visual supports InteractivityService [not this is not a custom filter, but a graphing visual].

Thanks

@diaAzul,

There is no problem to update visual API to 1.11.0.

Thanks, don't know what I was doing wrong before. It updated this time - same commands, same sequence (I can see it in the command history), different day.
