Query String Report Selection with Embedded

I would like to replace the report navigation at the bottom of Power BI Embedded with my own buttons and icons. Does anyone have a tutorial for this? My initial thought is that I could create each button, make each one a link to a URL with query string (www.mysite.com?report="Report1"), and somehow use this value in the JavaScript API. I'm open to any other implementation ideas as well.

 

Also, I'm using RLS, though I don't think that will affect anything.

 

Thanks!

Hi @ats1958,

 

There are JS functions that can achieve your goal. Please try it in this site which also contains source code.  

// Get a reference to the embedded report HTML element
var embedContainer = $('#embedContainer')[0];

// Get a reference to the embedded report.
report = powerbi.get(embedContainer);

// Retrieve the page collection, and then set the second page to be active.
report.getPages()
    .then(function (pages) {
        pages[1].setActive()
            .catch(function (errors) {
                Log.log(errors);
            });
    })
    .catch(function (errors) {
       Log.log(errors);
    });
