I have a report that I want to embed in a website. I don't have power bi embedded, so I use "embed report -> Website or Portal" to obtain a URL.
My problem is the given URL sends me to the report with a default "Fit to Width" zoom and no canvas zoom slider like in the "Publish to Web" case.
I know that we can pass some parameters to the URL like "&navContentPaneEnabled=false" to hide the page navigation bar. Are there similar parameters to show the canvas zoom slider and/or to set a default zoom for the report?
In general, what other useful URL parameters are available besides "&navContentPaneEnabled=false" and filtering?
Hi. I think it shows the view you have save at the report. If you save fit to width on a page it uses that at any way of embedding by default. You can probably edit the report and change the view mode, save and that will change the embed.
This is the doc for embedding in secure portal: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-embed-secure
It show some items and possibilities but I haven't seen anything regarding navContentPaneEnabled. That's an option available for the embedding like apps owns data, when you take all the features and licenses of embedding to build a big web app. If you want to try some things about that at the secure link here you have the doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/configure-report-settings
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
Thank you for your answer. I didn't know that it defaults to the view I saved the report in. It makes sense and it solves some of my problems, but I am still interested in a way to do it through URL parameters if it is possible.
I understand that using Power BI Embedded you can do basically anything you want to how the report appear to the users, but given the existence of parameters like navContentPaneEnabled (which I came to know through this community and which AFAIK doesn't appear anywhere in the official documentation) I wonder if there is some code-free way to do it with the URL parameters.
In general, I would say it would be helpful to get a page in the documentation with all the existing URL parameters.
