Clicking on visualisation in dashboard take user to entire report

Hi,

 

I have a visualisation pinned to a dashboard. When a goes to their dashboard and clicks/expands the visualisation they are taken to the report that the visualisation is stored in. This report has several tabs with visualisations that I don't want this user to be able to see - but when the user clicks on the visualisation they are taken the full report and are able to click on different tabs and see the other visualisations. Please can you tell me how I can make the user only be able to see the visualisation that I have pinned to his/her dashboard?

 

Maybe I should only create one visualisation per report? But in Power BI desktop it seems that I can only create one report per Power BI file so that doesn't seem practical?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

CM

Hi @CloudMonkey,

 

By default, after pinning a visual to dashboard, when we click the tile in dashboard will jump back into the report rather than the individual visual. In fact, we can add many new tiles from a report.  And each of these tiles, when clicked, is a link back into the report.

 

If you don't want to jump back to the report from dashboard tile, you can edit the custom URL like below. You can copy the visual URL by clicking the 'focus mode' button and paste the URL as custom link.

If you don't want this, I think you need to create one visualisation per report (per pbix file) which is inconvenient.
