    Hi Anonymous,

    The report title is not available to the visual - it's not possible to do this in DAX either (otherwise you could add this to your visual as a data role).

    I'm not sure if it's something the team could make available, but if it's something you need then I'd suggest creating an issue for it to see if they can.

    Regards,

    Daniel

      Thanks for your reply dm-p 

      Is there something like it that the API provides? My particular need is the construction of some external IDs -my plan is to concatenate this filed with some other strings. I was thinking `constructorOptions.host.instanceId` but it changes every page reload or so. So it's not stable enough to be used as an ID. Any suggestions?
