Loving the new bookmarking feature, however working within an organisation where Power BI has just been introduced the majority of our dashboards are pinned reports to dashboard level. It would be AMAZING if the bookmarks (linked to images) worked on the dashboard level.

If you can pin an entire report and the interactive visuals work, logic dictates that any image-based bookmarks should also work. Also adding bookmarks to filters would be heaven.

I appreciate that bookmarks are in preview but would welcome any indication of further bookmark developments?

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

Bookmarks are great in reports, but I need to be able to push bookmarks out to my public users via Dashboards.

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

Could not agree more. Bookmarking is a fantastic feature but essentially flawed if my stakeholders can't use in a dashboard page view.

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

Totally agree with the comments below. The bookmarking feature needs to be available when working on a pinned page at dashboard level.

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

This is definitely a feature I'd expected to exist when bookmarking was released. I'm disappointed it's not already part of Power BI.

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

Such a great addition and can see a lot of benefit. We have a need to connect to more than 1 data model in a suite of reports being distributed to a user group via a Power BI App. Using a Dashboard is the only way to visually display visualisations from separate data models together for a seamless user experience. The styling limitations that come with using dashboards needs improving but the use of bookmarks via a pinned live page would help fill this void. I hope this idea gets up soon. Alternatively the dashboard functionality is in desperate need of improvements from a styling and navigation perspective.

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

All of my dashboards are pinned live pages and they work really well. I was really excited about the new bookmark feature that works beautifully on my reports, but I have no use for it if it doesn't work on pinned live pages. I hope this can be implemented soon!

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

Definitely agree. Awesome feature but would be much better if it worked at the dashboard level.

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

I agree. The bookmarks are a great solution to guiding users to the appropriate dashboards and automatic constraint of the data. It needs to be also available for Live Pages as well. Can't have a user becoming comfortable using bookmarks in Reports but then not working on Live Pages.

RE: Bookmarks on BI Service at Dashboard level

Completely agree! I'd love to be able to use bookmarks linked to images on pinned live pages from reports.
