How can I customize publish-to-web report link to be SHORT and SIMPLE

Hi,

 

I've just create the pulish-to-web link to share publicly. However, the created link is so long and complicated as like:

 

https://app.powerbi.com/viewr=eyJrIjoiMjc4ZmM0YjQtNzkxMS00YzU4LTllYTUtZDlhYTc1ZjZmOGNhIiwidCI6IjY2ZT..............

 

How can I customize this link to be SHORT and SIMPLE such as: https://app.powerbi.com/viewr=Sales-Oct

 

Looking forward to your help, thank you.

 

Regards,

Vu

@vutruong,

 

When you use Publish to web, the report or visual you publish can be viewed by anyone on the Internet. There is no authentication used when viewing these reports. 

 

The string after "=" is the unique identifier that refer to this report. 
https://app.powerbi.com/viewr=Sales-Oct
If the report link display as you said, which report do you get if there are many reports with the same name (Salse-Oct)? So currently, there is no such a functionally to customize this link to be SHORT and SIMPLE. 

 

Thank you for your understanding.
