Any Risk of Inconsistency After Publishing a Report with a Text Box that Includes a Dynamic Value?
Super UserThere are three levels to your question
level1: You prohibit your report users from storing modified filters. Next time they open the repor they will see your default filters again unless they were clever enough to save bookmarks
level2: You allow users to store their filters . These will then be applied to the next session. Filter choices are restricted to that user
level3: you allow your users to personalize visuals. That is also limited to each user.
In short - yes. Stuff is user specific unless you prevent it (bad idea) or until the user clicks the "Reset" button or clears their browser cookies or whatever storage is now used.
Thank you, very much, lbendlin , for making the time to reply. I appreciate your help! Unfortunately, it seems I did not communicate my hypothetical scenario clearly.
In the scenario that interests me, the report viewer will have no access to the filters pane. The report viewer will be viewing a Power BI report through a public embed link (akin to this one: https://app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrIjoiNGNmMjg3YWMtYWYwZC00NWQzLWE0OWYtZTM5ZDExYjA0YmM4IiwidCI6IjUyY2E2YTU0LTQ0NjUtNDYzNS1iZmYzLTY1ZDBhODQxMjI4OCJ9&pageName=ReportSectionaf8f2cdce3a94a93f0a5 )
My question is whether—for different viewers of the public embed link Power BI report—the result of the "+ Value" that I add in a text box will the be same or different (assuming the data & filters etc. remain the same; the only thing that would change is the report viewer's device, cookies, etc.).
In other words, I am wondering whether the "+ Value" in a text box (because it relies on Power BI's Q&A functionality) behaves more like a card in Power BI (yields the same result regardless of the report viewer's device, cookies, etc.) or more like Google search suggestions (could possibly yield a different result depending on user's device, cookies, etc.).
