Currently bookmarks interact with the filter pane being open/closed/visible and what filters are applied (if the Data option is selected). Especially with live connections, it would be helpful to be able to bookmark which filters in the pane are shown/hidden/locked/unlocked.

For example, we have a model with both order information and invoicing information with separate date dimensions for each. In order to use filters on a summary type page showing either orders or invoices and controlled by bookmarks, I would want to be able to hide the booking filters when on the invoicing bookmark and vice versa so that users can't accidentally cross the filters/data and get a number that doesn't make sense.

I know I could make separate pages but that would double the number of pages in the report vs being able to use bookmarks to condense everything and offer users an enhanced navigation experience within the report.

RE: Filter Pane Applied/Show/Hide/Lock Filters Bookmark Interaction

It's very jarring that clicking on a bookmark inside of a report shows or hides the filter pane depending on the state of the pane when the bookmark was created. We want the bookmark to leave the pane alone and keep it hidden or visible per the user's preference!
