Power BI PL 300 exam Bookmark Question - Test 3, Question 35

MapleCookie  Minimum number of bookmarks required : 2 bookmarks

Which property should you apply to each bookmark? : Only apply: "Selected visuals" + "Display"

Note: Do NOT include Data in the bookmark
This ensures the Chain slicer selection is preserved when switching between views.

I hope this clears your question.

You need two bookmarks because each view requires its own visual layout, and the slicer selection must stay unchanged when switching between them. Using the

Data property would reset slicer values, which violates the requirement. The Display property only controls which visuals are shown or hidden and keeps slicer selections intact.

Therefore, the correct solution is two bookmarks using the Display property.

Hi MapleCookie,

I understand why you chose DATA based on that highlighted section Let me clarify what that documentation means and why for this specific exam question DISPLAY is still the correct choice

The documentation you highlighted states:

Because of this, you likely want to turn off data properties, so that filters aren't reset when users switch views by selecting a bookmark.

• Turn off data properties means: 
  • In the bookmarks settings you uncheck the Data checkbox and check the Display checkbox So This ensures the bookmark only captures visual visibility (whats shown/hidden) not the filter/slicer state
• So when Microsoft says turn off data properties they are essentially saying Use the Display property not the Data property

So Lets Break it Down:

• Two bookmarks are needed because you have two distinct views (Postal Code map and Month column chart)
• The Chain slicer must maintain its selection when switching between views

  • If you use Data property the bookmark captures the slicers current value

  • When you switch bookmarks the slicer resets to whatever value was saved
  • This violates the requirement (that the selected Chain field must be maintained)

• Display property solves this by:

  • Only controlling visual visibility (showing/hiding the map vs the chart)
  • Leaving the slicer untouched and interactive
  • Preserve whatever value the user selected

btw you are on the right track the documentation confirms that for view switching scenarios DISPLAY is indeed the correct choice over DATA

So Good luck on your PL-300 exam
