The bookmark feature looks great. Would it be useful if there is added functionality which allows subscriptions to be on bookmarks for a report?

This is important, but it won't let me vote. It keeps saying enter a valid email address and complete the captcha. I am using valid email and do not see a captcha.

RE: Subscriptions to Bookmarks

Either we need the ability to allow for subscribing to bookmarked reports or specify the report page filters or on-page slicers, or we need the ability for the PBI Service to accept runtime edits/bind variables to underlying DirectQuery SQL and store those as subscription variables, or ... I'm sure there are several other options.

I've coded reporting applications to do this, including using Microsoft VBA and customizing another vendor's web-based products. I am quite certain the PBI team can figure this out.

Rather than have 200 customized reports, which are painful to manage across multiple workspace for multiple business units, this feature would allow us to reduce our report count about 30-60%, since customized "bookmarked" reports could then be saved and also scheduled. (It would also be nice to be able to view personal bookmarked variables, to analyze if it should become a "standard" report.)
