Hi Anonymous ,

I have a little confused about your requirement.

Do you want to customize your own report theme in power bi desktop?

If so, you could refer to this official document.

Let me try this a different way.

 

When using Power BI, we can create and import our own theme into the report. Piece of cake. Now this person changes that theme themselves and uploads their report to the server. Since it appears that the theme sits in report there isn't a way to enforce a corporate theme once it is pushed to our corporate space from a user.

 

The question is this - is there a way to enforce any elements? or is it just we need to monitor every PBIX imported to our corporate space? I'm thinking not, other then intercepting each file and making those changes ourselves.

 

Thanks

    Hi Anonymous ,

    Is the our corporate space your mentioned the app workspace in Power BI Service?

    If so, does the user download the report as pbix and change the theam, then reupload the report in the appworkspace?

    Which app workspace do you use? New app workspace or the classic app workspace? 

    Best Regards,

    Cherry

      Hello,

       

      They will download it once, but there is nothing stopping them from changing it and uploading the file again. I know we could monitor any changed PBIX and run some script to reapply our theme, however, we just want to adjust the wallpaper.

       

      I'll check with the Power BI Admin to find out the answer to the other question. But I believe it may be your corporate space as the URL starts with app.powerbi.com.

       

      Note: The goal is to make sure that if a report/dashboard is provided to executives that they know it's not the production instance where we do more rigorous validation of the information provided. So if I'm making this too difficult and there is a simple solution I'm all for it.

       

      Thanks for the assist.
