Hi, I am new to Power BI and maybe I have a misunderstanding.
I have created a simple report that different units will consult, basically it allows you to select unit and period. I understood that users with permissions to view the report on the report server could make their selection and save it with the selected filters in a marker. But the option to add a bookmark is disabled and only bookmarks saved from Desktop can be used. Am I doing something wrong or is it that I have not understood how it works?
Yes, these are not available for PBIRS. The way PBIRS is designed it stores reports in ReportServer database. So unless there is a new release of Power BI Report Server with modified struction of RS database for storing personalized preferences, it won't be feasible in PBIRS. That may be a challenge conceptually as the on-prem storage on DB may grow manifold with this. Please add to Ideas and it may be done in future!
This is also my experience. I have not found any material that says it should not work, but it does not work on Report Server for me. Bookmarks on Report Server would be very helpful. If they are not going to work, it'd be better to just remove the disabled / grayed out bookmarks option.
