How to keep bookmarks updated when data in dropdown slicer changes?

Hi Anonymous ,

I have made a small sample, has you can check on the second page I have placed the ID on the filter page and then made a bookmark for no selection, a bookmark for ID1, ID2 and ID3.

Then you just need to add the first one to a button that filter out the first selction.

Hi MFelix ,

I highly appreciate your response. Will it be possible for you to demonstrate this using a sample PBIX file and sample data as I have mentioned above.

Also , could you please elaborate further on what you meant by these lines,
"if you are abble to accept this then you can add a filter on the page filter (hidden) with the ID you need for each bookmark associated with the buttons on the other page.

Then create a bookmark on the second page without any ID selected, and add a button to your page when the user selects that bookmark the slicer allows other selections."

Thanks in advance.

Hi MFelix ,

Thanks for your solution. However, this is not working as expected in my scenario.
Below are couple of points I want to highlight:
1. The last ID used to create the bookmark is retained and all the button actions lead to that bookmark.
2.While creating bookmarks, I cannot keep "All visuals" selected because one of these visuals is a date slicer and I want it to be synced across pages.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Anonymous ,

Regarding your questions please see my comments below:

1. Don't understand what you mean by this, in the file I have setup the buttons lead to different bookmarks that have different ID. What is the meaning of the sentance?

2. In this case you select the visuals you need matrix and slicer of fruits and select the option on the bookmark "Selected visuals" that way the Date slicer will not be impacted. That way the Data of the bookmarks will be kept only for the selected visuals

Hi, MFelix ,

"The last ID used to create the bookmark is retained and all the button actions lead to that bookmark."
By this I mean, If I create 3 bookmarks for IDs 1,2,3 each and bookmark with ID 3 is the most recent one. This ID = 3 filter is retained on the page and even when actions of the buttons are set to navigate to bookmarks with ID 1 or ID 2, the user is navigated to the details page with ID 3 being selected.

One major observation I have seen is that this problem only occurs when the boomarks are created with "Selected Visuals" option.

Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Anonymous ,

I cannot replicate this, occurence, when I setup the bookmarks they are working properly when you call them, only question (but that happens with all bokkmarks) is that if you navigate manually trough the pages the last bookmark yhou used, it can be all, 1, 2 or 3 will be kept but that is a PowerBI feature, in this case when I do this type of user experience I hide the page where the bookmarks are and the user can only go to it from the main page.

Hi Anonymous ,

Please try to update the involved bookmarks as below screenshot:

In addition, please review the content in the following links, hope they can help you.

bookmark not updating

Bookmark with Selected Visuals no longer "remembers" which visuals are visible/hidden
