Not able to pin using Shape

Hi ,

 Can anyone explain me why i am not able to pin a shape .The reason for me to use shape here is just like a container when you hover over it ...it looks neat when you have multiple things assigned in it and have provided bookmarking to a shape ..so each shape clicked will navigate to page in report .

But my idea is wanted to pin each shape and get it as tiles in dashboard view and each tile navigating to the respective pages.

 

Please find the attached screenshot sample and provide insights and thougths on same.

1st image - able to pin charts but not shape 

2nd image -able to pin live page ,not able to use custom url ?(is that because of pro trial version ?or i am missing out something ?)

3rd image -have similar kinda idea to project it same way ! Each of human holding flag icon is similar to stream ( human resource sample,Customer profitability sample)inside a shape...When clicked on each shape.Each shape should take to different page in report.

Hi @deepikak12,

 

By my tests, in addition to the pin live page, it seems that there is no option for us to pin the shapes to dashboard currently in Power BI.

 

You could submit a new idea in Power BI ideas Forum and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

 

For the workaround, I suggest you could try with Text or Button in Power BI which also have the link option and the option to pin to dashoboard.

I want to ask about the ability create a Map and link its points which were represented by "query" result fields, Thus

ShapMap exist at 32-bit desktop version but 64bit does not support our needs,The link will be polygons o lines.

 

If you have suggessions execpt using argGis features...please tell us.
