Customize button color in Bookmark Navigator when different button is selected

[balafbm]

I have 2 bookmark groups - Top Visuals and Bottom Visuals each containing 3 bookmarks.

I have created 2 bookmark navigators for the user to toggle among the different visuals.

The default state for TOP bookmark buttons is light blue and in selected state is darker Green.

And the default state for BOTTOM bookmark buttons is light red and in selected state is dark brown.

When a button selection is made the previous selection color remains as is.

So when I selected "Bottom Branches", it correctly turns Dark Brown, but the "Darker Green" of Top Sales Rep button does not turn light blue as that is the default state, and there is no customizable option as well.

Is this solvable?

Hi @balafbm ,

To independently toggle visuals each visual state (showing and hidden) needs a bookmark and a button for that bookmark.  So for three visuals you would need 6 bookmarks and 6 buttons.  For a given visual, both of its bookmarks must be set to "Selected visuals" and you must select only the visuals that you want to change the state of when updating the bookmark.  This will be the visual you are wanting to toggle AND both of the buttons used for toggling:

I have left the buttons seperated for clarity but in practice you would probably want to layer the show/hide buttons for given visual on top of each other to give the appearance of a single button.

Thanks for this.

I have 6 visuals, so I would need 12 bookmarks and 12 buttons to achieve this.

I was hoping to do this using bookmark navigator, but it seems that is not possible right now in PowerBI.

Hi @balafbm ,

First of all, the purpose of a bookmark is to maintain an instantaneous state, and the fact that you want to click on other bookmarks while still keeping the last selected color setting the same is contrary to the definition of a bookmark. So in my opinion, it is still impossible to implement this feature at the moment.

I just want a little bit more customization to the "Bookmark Navigator". The "Bookmark Navigator" visual allows grouping of multiple bookmarks.

I just want to assign a different color to each button in their "unselected / Default" state.

Right now we can only assign one single color in the "Default" state for all the buttons in a bookmark navigator.

Hi @balafbm 

What i understood you have not created the show hide gorup properly thats y it are not working as intended. Make Sure when you click on bottom branch, Top Sales Rep button does not get show or dark green colur should be hidden. then only it will work.

Thanks for the video reference.

I am using 2 "Bookmark Navigators" which has inbuilt buttons within it.

The solution you mentioned is creating individual button for each bookmark.

So in my example above, I will have to create 12 individual buttons and do "Show and Hide" highliting based on selection.
