Bookmarks for User guidance

Hi All,

Imagine the scenario...

We have a report with some functions (buttons) that may not seem clear on first use to users.

 

Therefore some bookmarks are created to pop up and guide the user through the experience (Arrows/Text kind of thing) on their first visit to the report.

 

On the second visit to the report the bookmarks wont appear as they have already been viewed.

 

Is there a way to ensure the bookmarks do not activate on the 2nd visit to the report?

    Hi ajohnso2 

     

    What you need is that when the user opens the report for the first time, the bookmark guide pops up, and when the user opens the report for the second time, the user doesn't need to do anything to make these bookmarks not show.

     

    Unfortunately , this feature is currently not supported.

    Hi ajohnso2 

    You can create a window that has two options "Overview" and "Skip"
    Once new visitors open the report, they can see all bookmark popups which will help them
    If the visitor reopens the report and skips the step. This Skip button action should be on the main report page.

      Thanks for the reply Pijush, not exactly the solution I was after as this would still require the user to make a choice before being able to use the report.

      I was hoping there maybe a solution that would work in the same way as slicers remembering your last selections.

      I.e. the report would know you already viewed the bookmark so on next visit you go straight to the report without bookmarks popping up requiring some interaction.
