Bookmark and Custom Visual

I am using bookmarks to toggle between two states on a gantt chart custom visual. The timeline deos not have a drill up/down, like viewing the tasks in days, week,s, months, etc. The plan was to use bookmarks that save the state of this property on the control. However, it doesn't seem to be saving the property value with teh bookmark. Is this a Power BI issue or a custom visual issue. The property value I need to save is not a "common" visual property.

 

Thanks

Hi @mcaop-21.

AFAIK, current bookmark feature not works for custom visuals. If you want interaction with bookmarks, please contact the visual author to add support for the bookmark feature.

Hi @mcaop-21

 

You could duplicate the chart and conditionally hide each one with bookmarks. (unless I'm misunderstanding)

I've done the same thing with the Gantt Chart by MAQ Software for Year, Quarter, Month and Week views.

I ended up with 4 charts but only 1 is ever visible at a time.

 

Hope this helps.

Kim

Not sure why this is marked as the solution as the one I offered works.

@mcaop-21 - did you have a chance to try it?
