Currently you can subscribe to a visible page in a report which works all fine.

The problem is that I create my reports as a sort of app in my Power BI where bookmarks guide the end users to their destination. This works very good, but they are guided to hidden pages. Also, these pages are filtered based on filters chosen in an earlier page. The biggest one stands on 63 pages at the moment, with only 2 visible pages.

One of these reports got approved to be rolled out to all our Account Managers in EMEA, but they made the request to have the ability to subscribe to the pages they like. Sadly enough, those pages are the hidden pages. Removing the hiding of the hidden pages kills the effectiveness of my report. Also, when the subscription functionality doesn't allow for filters to be used by the subscribe tool, I have to create a page per Account Managers. That would be at least 30 extra pages that I have to create and maintain.

Therefore what I need is the possibility to subscribe people to a hidden page and also have this for the current applied filters. Alternative for the filter, it could be based on a personal bookmarks, although that would cause some friction from my end users.

Can this be applied for the next update?

RE: Subscription for filtered hidden pages

there is another idea on here which i guess would achieve the same end result which is subscribe to bookmark.

RE: Subscription for filtered hidden pages

Would be really needed as my report pages have some overlays (done with bookmarks) which cannot be exported separately.
So pls either allow exporting bookmarks or hidden report pages.
Thank you!
