Tracking user interactions with the ArcGIS Map visual in Power BI
Tracking Interactions with the ArcGIS Map Visual in Power BI
Currently, it is not possible to track user interactions on a specific visual (such as the ArcGIS Map visual) using Power BI’s built-in features. Power BI’s usage tracking tools operate at higher levels (report, dashboard, and page), not at the individual visual level.
- Report/Dashboard Usage Metrics: Power BI usage metrics reports provide data on how often a report or dashboard is viewed, who viewed it, and even which pages were viewed, but they do not record interactions with specific visuals on those pages. In other words, you can see if a user opened or viewed a report (and which page they looked at), but you cannot see if they clicked or interacted with an ArcGIS Map visual on that page. This is confirmed in Microsoft's documentation and community discussions: the built-in metrics “don’t give visual-level detail.” [Re: Tracki...rosoft ...], [Monitor re...soft Learn]
- Capacity Metrics: If you are using Power BI Premium (Fabric), the capacity metrics app or dashboard provides information about overall resource usage (CPU, memory, query durations, etc.) on your capacity. While this can help identify heavy usage times or performance bottlenecks, it does not track individual user clicks or visual interactions. At best, capacity metrics and audit logs can give an aggregate sense of activity (e.g. report render timings, session counts), but not the fine detail of which visual was clicked. [Re: Tracki...rosoft ...]
- Audit Logs: The Office 365 Audit Logs for Power BI record events like view, export, share, delete, etc., on Power BI artifacts. For example, audit logs can tell you which user viewed which report and when, or if someone exported data from a visual. However, audit logs do not capture general interactivity like filtering or clicking on a visual. They log discrete events (such as “Viewed a report” or “Exported data from ArcGIS Map visual”), but simply clicking or selecting within a visual isn't logged as a separate event. There is no out-of-the-box telemetry for “user hovered over X” or “user zoomed a map.”
In summary, Power BI provides metrics at the content level (reports/dashboards/pages) but does not support tracking interactions on an individual visual like the ArcGIS map. This limitation is by design for now. Please fix this limitation to gain additional insights to usage metrics of ArcGIS map visual
