Service personal bookmark to be shared and avoid recreating bookmarks by sharing through Teams

Hi all,

 

we have the problem since a few month that our free PBI users can´t share through the service anymore. They are working with a lot of personal bookmarks (in reports in the workspace directly) in which they select for example 120 customers for a specific action/offer. They used to share this personal bookmarks between multiple colleagues. But this function doesn´t work anymore.

 

We have got feedback from the support that the share function would work in a App again and then by using "chat in teams" in order to share with colleagues.

I tested it and it seems to work again. But the next problem is, how to avoid to re-create manually all the old personal boomarks? regarding my example, we would like to avoid to select manually the 120 customers again.

We tried to copy the bookmarkID from the URL (from the report in the workspace) and to paste it in the "chat in teams" link but it didn´t work.

Any ideas on that?

 

Thanks a lot!

    Hi,

    yes we found a solution yesterday. It is possible to share bookmark by using a visual: by clicking on the 3 points on the top right, then share by teams. It is sharing indirectly the bookmark for all the report. 

    Thanks.

  • This is in line with how bookmarks work in Power BI Premium

     

    Report level bookmarks - set by the developer, visible to all users

    Personal bookmarks - created by the report user and only visible to the report user*

    Chat in Teams - dynamically created bookmarks that can be shared with others. Ephemeral, will become invalid.

     

    * I think that's a good thing - for privacy reasons.
