URL for reports in workspace

Hi,

I'm creating a landing page for all the reports in a workspace. For this, I'm using a table with report name & hyperlink as a source and create a landing page in Desktop. Works as expected. But I have a report with multiple pages supporting various metrics. While creating landing page, Customer wants to have multiple links for the same report based on the pages. For example, Link 1 - should display only 1-3 pages, Link 2 - should display 4,5 pages, Link 3- Show only the remaining pages. I'm struck here. Is there a way to point URL to limit the pages? RLS is ruled out here. Any help is appreciated!

 

Regards,

Amudha

    Anonymous , You want to show two pages at a time, then add them in dashboard and then create an app using the dashboard

    Or use the Page navigation button in the report

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Power BI allows you to link directly to specific pages in a report using the URL filters. However, it does not support limiting the visibility of pages through URL parameters alone. Each page in a Power BI report has a unique URL that you can use to direct users to that specific page.

     

    To create links to specific pages, follow these steps:

    1. Open the report in Power BI Service.

    2. Navigate to the page you want to link to.

    3. Once on the desired page, copy the URL from the browser's address bar.

    4. Paste this URL into your landing page table as the hyperlink for that specific page. Repeat these steps for each page you want to link to.

     

    Please note that this method will not restrict users from navigating to other pages in the report once they are viewing it. If you need to restrict access to certain pages, you would typically use Row-Level Security (RLS), but as you've mentioned that RLS is ruled out, this URL method is the alternative.
