Power BI Apps Filters stored in cookies

Hi Guys,

 

i am fairly new to Power BI Apps. I have created a App with a lot of reports for different Business Areas for the Company. Each Business Area has a own audience set in the app.

 

My question is: Can i put all the reports unfiltered into the app, so that the different audiences can filter the reports as they like and will the filters the user choose, be saved in their browser cookies? I dont want them to go in the app and filter the reports everytime they wanna check something out. The app also has a dashboard in it which will be displayed throughout the whole day in the production shopfloor.

 

Thanks

Hi, @denizaci 

Based on my test and research, sticky state/Persistent filters are not guaranteed to work when the user closes the browser/refreshes the page, so this behavior is by design. However, the users can use personal bookmarks in Power BI to capture the currently configured view of a report page, including filtering and the state of visuals, and later let you go back to that state by simply selecting the saved bookmark. Power BI Desktop creates a bookmark and gives it a generic name. You can easily rename, delete, or update a bookmark by selecting the ellipses next to the bookmark's name, then selecting an action from the menu that appears:
