Dashboard Focus Mode

Submitted by Anonymous on ‎10-02-2017 07:12 AM

Hi,

In 'Focus Mode' in a dashboard, the column headers of a table show the names of the original columns instead of the aliases. That doesn't happen in the reports, but only in dashboards. The same apply for graphs. Is that a bug ?

What do you mean about the aliases? Could you please post a screenshot for it?

I cannot see any difference between the table in dashboard focus mode and the table in report page as below.

In the first photo the correct headers appear. That's how the table looks like in the dashboard. I've renamed the values to match the descriptions I wanted. However, when I go to Focus Mode, the headers appear as the original column names from the data model. That doesn't happen in the Report, just in the dashboard,

Could you please have a try again on your side? It seems that it is also not reproducible in the dashboard now.

Hi Herbert,

Yes, I still have the same issue. I have three tiles in a dashboard with data and I get the same thing in all three of them. In focus mode the headers appear as in the model and not as I've renamed them

Could you please share a sample PBIX file which can be used to repro? My repro steps should be same as you, but I still cannot repro the same issue as you described. You can share it through online file service like OneDrive.

When I create a dashboard that looks like the following, the focus mode of the table looks wrong:

Hi, We are currently experience the same issue with the new view mode on the dashboard. We have unpinned items from the dashboard and repinned them after refreshing the reports. It appears to work for some of the visualizations but not all of them. The reports that are pinned are published from the same report workbook. Does anyone know if there is a fix in place for this? This is not only occuring for the Tooltips box but for columns that are renamed as well.
