Prevent Bookmark From Resetting Filters

[elliotb]

Hi,

I have a dashboard that currently has 5 bookmarks that allows a user to filter data between 4 different time periods (Full Time Period, Current Year, Current Month and Current Quarter). I also have a slicer on the page that allows users to drill down to specific countries.

My expectation was that I could update my books marks to to affect "Selected Visuals" and select every visual on the page except for the country slicer. However, when I do this (starting by updating the Full Time Period bookmark) it simply just breaks the bookmark and causes nothing to get updated. Any help would be appreciated!

@elliotb , Based on what I got, Uncheck that data option

If I uncheck the data option it will keep the country filter but then will prevent the date filter from working correctly.

Example:

-Uncheck data in the "Full Time Period" bookmark

-Click the "Current Year" bookmark (filters data to 2023)

-Filter country to "France" in slicer

-Try to click  "Full Time Period" bookmark. In this scenario the country filter holds but so does the current date filter (i.e 2023 dates only). As a result the bookmark does not behave in a desirable manner.
