Embedded report "control"

Hello All,

 

We're going to be embedding a power bi set of reports into a website.  As I design the reports, I am a little unsure what our website guy can do with the reports I create...it makes a difference in how I set up reports and so on.  So I hope you all won't mind this question.

 

I see I am able to present a "catalog" of reports (nice looking tiles) available to a user.  I saw this in the Milliman example in the first few minutes of this presentation.  So far so good!  

 

In these reports, I'd like to be able to use menu objects (flyouts or other UI tools) to set slicers across several pages of this report.  (I can't do this in powerbi, but it would really help the app if I can do it when it's embedded).  Is this "readily" done?

 

As a use case to share a bit what I mean:  a user selects a performance measure s/he would like to examine--say Profitability, and the situations--Locations in and around Cleveland.  Once set, each of the report pages presents a different aspect of the performance measure in the locations selected.  Can do?

 

Any visualization tips or tricks to use or avoid that impact how easy or hard this is?

 

Finally--are there good API descriptions that can help our web guy get grounded with this.  I'd like to have a little more context to be able to have an informed conversation with him/her.

 

Thanks all...Tom

Not sure about your first question regarding filters and such across multiple report pages, but this article has links to the API reference, etc.

I do not see anything in the API reference that would indicate that it can do what you want. The API is pretty thin right now.
