Bookmarks remove report level filter

Hi Guys,

 

I have a report in which i send filters through URL.

Recently i have created bookmarks in which i show and hide a map visual by creating a toggle button approach.

 

However, after publishing the report, when i click on the toggle button which basically is connected to a bookmark, the filter which was passed by URL gets removed i.e. No value is selected for that Report Level filter.

 

Can anyone tell any solutions for this issue?

 

Regards,

    Hi prateekraina,

     

    >>However, after publishing the report, when i click on the toggle button which basically is connected to a bookmark, the filter which was passed by URL gets removed

    Did you means the 'publish to web' feature? If this is a case, current publish to web feature not support url filter and RLS.

    You can try to submit this to ideas.

     

    Limitations and troubleshooting

    There are a couple of things to be aware of when using the query string parameters.

    • Query string filtering does not work with Publish to web URLs.

    • Field type has to be string.

    • Table and field names cannot have any spaces.

    Filter a report using query string parameters in the URL

      Hi Anonymous,

       

      Thanks for the response.

       

      I am not using Publish to web feature. I have simply embedded a report in my web app and i am passing filters to it via URL.

        Hi prateekraina,

         

        You can check below link which told about the limitation about bookmark feature:

        Limitations and considerations

        In this preview release of the bookmarks, there are a few limitations and considerations to keep in mind.

        • Custom visuals do not work with bookmarking if they are the source of the filter. If you're using custom visuals to filter elements on a page (for example, the chiclet slicer) and return to that page using a bookmark, the page may be filtered but the custom visual won't be updated to show how the page is being filtered.
        • Cross-highlighting status for a report pane is not saved when you create a bookmark.
        • If you add a visual on a report page after creating a bookmark, the visual will be displayed in its default state. This also means that if you introduce a slicer into a page where you previously created bookmarks, the slicer will behave in its default state.
        • Moving around visuals after a bookmark has been created will be reflected in the bookmark.
        • You must have at least one bookmard in your report, when you publish it to the Power BI service, in order for bookmarks to be available in the service. This is a requirement for each report you publish.

         

         

        Use bookmarks to share insights and build stories in Power BI (Preview)
