Hello I'm looking to develop visuals. I've followed some tutorials at home using poweshell, visual studio code, and the power bi service.
using this type of environment https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/environment-setup?tabs=windows
Where I work we use an on premise Report server. Is it possible to use developer mode on the report server? I don't believe we have access to the PowerBI service.
If it is not possible is there another solution so that I can have a test visual interface for what I'm coding?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @Just_John,
In my opinion, I think report server should more suitable paginated report designs and managements. I don't think you can develop custom visuals on report server side.
For testing custom visual, you can refer to the following document:
