Power BI Embedding- retain slicer/filter configuration

I have an app which embeds the report by using the concept of user owns data. I want to retain the slicers/filters configuration retained by user without saving the report in my app. Is this possible? The slicer/filter configuration is retained in the service but its not reflected in the embedded report without saving.

If you do not save the desired filter in the report itself, you need to store it somewhere such as a SQL database or in some other media. If the user sets fitlering in the report itself, you client-side code can get he current filter settings by calling report.getFilters. You can take that filter info and save it to a database. Then when that use logs on in a future session, you could retrive that per-user filter state and reapply it o the report.

 

Is this the type of functionality you are looking for?
