PBI RS Jan 2021 - change the display size to full screen

chucky69 — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 07:52:58 GMT

Hello,

It is still not possible in PBI RS "January 2021" to choose a full screen display mode.

When this simple feature will finally be available?

It has already been used for several months in Power BI service : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/power-bi/consumer/end-user-report-view

Today, using "rs: embed = true" in the url is not practical for an end user.

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, there is no permanent fix for this issue yet. Microsoft Idea · Full Screen mode in Power BI Report Server.

Adding string at the end of the URL is currently the only workaround.

http://URL?rs:embed=true

http://URL?rs:Command=Render&rc:Toolbar=false

You can provide your users with a bookmarklet that contains the necessary javascript to apply ?rs:embed=true to the current URL. Not ideal, but they'll be able to full screen any report with one click once they set that up in their browser.

Thank you for your reply.

Indeed it is not the ideal that I confirm.

I know the solution to wrap javascript in a bookmark, it works fine.

The javascript code :

javascript&colon;(function(){window.location.href = window.location.href + "?rs:Command=Render&rc:Toolbar=false";})();

However, it is difficult to support hundreds of users in this type of manipulation, the tool should offer the functionality natively.

Thank you for your answer.

I know all these solutions well, but we have been using this service for several years now and this type of functionality must be natively embedded.

The end user simply needs a button.

Applying "?rs:embed=true" to the end of URL will reload the current page and lose all state.

So I came up with a version that will keep current state and trigger browser's native full screen mode.

Works great on Firefox 87 and PBIRS 2021-Jan.

javascript&colon;(function(){elements = document.getElementsByClassName('pbi-frame');element = elements[0];if(element.requestFullscreen) {element.requestFullscreen();} else if(element.mozRequestFullScreen) {element.mozRequestFullScreen();} else if(element.webkitRequestFullscreen) {element.webkitRequestFullscreen();} else if(element.msRequestFullscreen) {element.msRequestFullscreen();}})();
