getSlicerState on Inactive Pages

Nojustice — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 14:17:36 GMT

Hello All,

We are currently trying to implement functionality where we save the state of all slicers on a report so that when a user comes back to the report in the future, it re-renders in the state that the user left the report in.

We are however experiencing an issues whereby getSlicerState seems to error if retrieving slicerstates from any other page other than the active one.

See example below:-

Has anyone encountered this problem before, or does anyone have a workaround for this?

Much Appreciated

Graham

{"message":"visualConfigIsNotInitialized","detailedMessage":"Visual container config is not initialized"}

Hi @Nojustice,

According to your error message, it seems like your request did not include the configs so that it failed to initialize.

If that is the case, I'd like to suggest you take a look following links about power bi javascript and correspond configurations.

Configure report settings

Embed Configuration Details

I have only provided an example piece of code, at the point this is executed the report is already rendered on the screen so all the configuration has already been passed to it.

As an example the report contains 2 tabs,

Tab1 = Books

Tab2 = Authors

The user alters some slicers on Books, then moves to Authors and alters some slicers.

The user hits save (code in my original post is executed)

It seems to only getslicerstate from the slicers on the current page (in this case Authors), I want to store what the slicerstate is from Books page.

Hope this brings some more clarity

Hi @Nojustice,

So you mean you want to add data processing methods into the requests? Did this error disappear if you remove these operations?

If that is the case, it may mean power bi not allow you to do some additional operation to send/access to the external resources.

@Nojustice I have just come across the same issue. Have you found a workaround or been able to solve this?
