Set default report with filter collapsed

I publish reports via Power-BI desktop to Power-BI service. It is possible to hide the filter pane or always show the filter pane.

 

I'd like the filter pane to be collapsed in the defeault report (for everyone using the report). When reset the report to default, the filter pane needs to be collapsed.

 

Most people don't want to see the filter pane. The report looks very busy and for the most users it is difficult to use, but some people use the filters a lot.

Hi. The filter pane will be shown as it was saved at the Power Bi Desktop source file. If you have it open when you save and publish, then by default it's opened. If you have it closed when save and publish from Desktop then it's closed.

Keep in mind that you can also hide the filter pane. Using Desktop, open the filter pane and check at the top icons. You will see an eye. Click on it to cross it out. Then save and publish. The filter pane won't be there at all.

I hope that helps,

Hi @sanderdeweert ,

 

As @ibarrau  said, you can control the visibility through eye, and for that you can create two bookmarks to make it easier for your users to switch.

 

Hope it helps!

I have a landing page set up in my power bi report.   This page has the table of contents and I do not need a filter pane.   On the hidden pages, which of course are accessed by links on the landing page, sometimes I do want to have the filter pane shown by default.   But it seems it is all or none.   Any way to do this....some pages the filter pane is open, and some it is not?  

Hi

 

I'm also looking for this solution - to have filters, visualizations and data panels collapsed upon opening Power BI. The solution noted here does not work. If I save the .pbix file with these panels collapsed and then reopen the file...it has Filters panel collapsed, but the visualization and data panel always are expanded.
