Add Visual As Tile on Dashboard via API

GraemeSMiller — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 22:31:26 GMT

I want to add a visual to a dashboard I have created via the API. I want to effectively let users pin visuals to a personal dashboard within our application

I can clone existing tiles from other dashboards to the new dashboard. However, I don't seem to be able to get Clone Tile to work with visuals from reports?

Any ideas on how to do this? I assumed once I was creating dashboards there would be an API call to simply let me add new tiles from visuals. However, I just don't seem to be able to find the correct API.

Thanks

Graeme

Hi Graeme,

I would suggest you create an idea here. Maybe we can have it soon.

Best Regards,

Dale

Given the state of the User voice backlog, it seems almost impossible to locate whether this item exists already.

I appreciate MS probably expect me to champion a request to get some votes but I can only assume there is an existing request that covers this? I saw an MS employee mention the requested functionality here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49357529/is-it-possible-to-dynamically-add-remove-tiles-from-dashboard-via-power-bi-embed/49358241#comment89528102_49358241

Why is there such a divergence between what the portal can do and what embedded to do? I thought the aim of the new embedded was a consolated API that exposed the portal functionality in an embedded format?
