Improve Bookmark for selected visuals / data for existing page/report filters

It is useful to define filters at different levels: all pages, current page and current visual

 

Defining standard report bookmarks is also a very powerful concept to control the interactive behaviour of a report.
Therefore we often use bookmarks, which only refer to data (filtering) for selected visuals.
Unfortunately the selection "selected visuals" does only include filter settings of the current visual, but not the filter settings at page or report level.

 

Feature request: it would be helpful to add following options for the bookmark scope settings:

- selected visual (already existing)

- selected visual + page filter (new)
- selected visual + page/report filter (new)

Cheers 
Michael

Hi @ibax ,

This is by design, Page level or report level filters will not work with selected visual bookmarks because it is in conflict with the "selected visual" concept, as those are tied to the page or report, rather than the specific visual.

Let's tack an example, Column1 is in both visual1 and visual2, page level filter is set to Column1="A", then we save a bookmark on visual1 with "selected visual", after that we delete the page visual filter, Column1 in both visual show all data. When we select the bookmark now, if page level filter is included, the page level filter will also effect visual2, which is in conflict with the "selected visual" concept.

I understand why with the current option "selected visuals" can only save filter settings of visuals. Obviously it's by design. 

 

Therefore I ask for additional new alternate options like "selected filter incl page filters" (see genuine request).

Hi @ibax ,

I think it's not reasonable, a page visual filter cannot only affect one visual but not others in the same page, right? Thanks.
