Custom visual and landing page not showing

[markuskolpext]

Hi,

I just developed my first custom visual (in React) according to the tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/create-react-visual 

But when no data is bound, I thought a default landing page (or watermark) should be shown ?

I just see a blank visual.

Questions:

• Is there a default watermark. If yes how is it enabled?
• Otherwise how do I set a custom landing page / watermark ?

I tried setting these values in the capabilities.json as suggested in some docs and posts:

    "supportsLandingPage": true,
    "supportsEmptyDataView": true

But nothing changes.

Also this page doesn't give me a working code example for a custom landing page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-nz/power-bi/developer/visuals/landing-page 

Maybe someone has a other example ?

Thanks,

Markus

Hi @Anonymous ,

unfortunately that is just a overview documentation.

I just found these 2 repos on github with example code. This now worked for me.

https://github.com/gramener/comicgen-powerbi/blob/master/src/visual.ts

https://github.com/liprec/powerbi-hierarchySlicer/blob/main/src/graphics.ts

Just look for all places in the code mentioning "landingpage".

Still I also hoped there might be a default landing page / watermark from Power BI itself. 

Regards,

Markus

HI @markuskolpext,

I'd like to suggest you take a look at the following document if this help with your situations:

Main sources for acquiring Power BI custom visuals - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

For the watermark settings, perhaps you can try to settings the default background of the custom visual with a custom image which include your watermark.
