Showing a message when a visual is loading

Hi guys 

I'm wondering if we can show a message when a visual still loading.

basically, in some reports, some visuals can take more time to load than others, so it will be useful to show "clearly" for some users that the visual still loading so they can wait (instead of receiving emails saying that it's not working 😁 )

is there any way to do that?

 

thanks a lot

You already have the spinner on the visual   (make sure the title is moved a bit to the right so as not to obscure it).

 

Any visual that takes longer than 5 seconds to load is a bad visual.  Spend your resources on improving your measures and your data model, rather than on user distraction.

Yes, I think you're right @lbendlin 

I like the term that you used "user distraction"
