    AUaero Just checking around the web it appears that you could script something to auto log in, but I'm not going to recommend anything as I've never done it and it deals with areas I'm unfamiliar with. If you can get a process to kick off and log in to Power BI, you can set a particular dashboard as your favorite and that will always show up after log in.. but I'm not aware of being able to navigate to a particular report.

    If you have a report page, you could pin the report page to a dashboard and make that your favorite, which might get you close to what you want... no garauntee's though.

One way to do is to use Publish to web feature. That will give you a URL for your report that you can launch via script on computer restart and so you don't need to worry about login or anything. Obviously that feature makes your report available to anyone who has that link but it's upto you to pass that link to anybody.

Any other ideas for how to use Power BI to publish KPIs in a kiosk mode?
