Defaulting to blank report instead of auto-create

[Edward_Russell]

Is it possible to change the default behavior of creating a new report from a semantic model to be creating a blank report rather than the auto-create?

Thanks,

Edward

Hi @Edward_Russell 

@foodd Thank you very much for your prompt reply, please allow me to share some content here.

Auto-create report is designed to quickly create reports in the Power BI service.

At the same time, you can also choose to create a blank page and create reports as needed.

Thank you for the comment. I understand the difference between the two options, my question is whether it is possible to have "Create a blank report" be the default rather than having to first click the dropdown.

Hi @Edward_Russell 

I understand your needs, power bi has design issues you can't modify.

@Edward_Russell , I agree with you that a natural choice would be to change the default sort order to 'Create a Blank Report', followed by 'Auto-create report'.

Hello @Edward_Russell , and thank you for sharing your observation about the default behavior of the button that creates a new report from a semantic model.
