Visual display controls and selection pane

Is your organization dealing with a complex report with many overlapping charts?

It also enables users to hide visuals on the report and allows you to select visual(s) from the report. Overall, it helps to simplify your complex reports. Users can generate very interesting reports by combining this feature with bookmarking, which can further utilized for presentations and storytelling.

Spotlight

The word ‘spotlight’ sounds a little fancy, but during presentations, it is a way to call attention to a specific chart. It can also be included as a part of the bookmark. Moreover, without losing the context of the report, this feature enables users to call attention to a chart quickly. As a result, the need for BI professionals to go back and forth gets eliminate, when presenting their case. To fade out all the other charts on the page the users can spotlight a particular or visual chart. However, you can get back to the original report by efficiently removing the spotlight.

Bookmarking

We all have heard and are aware of the term ‘Bookmarking.’ In Power BI Desktop, the feature bookmarking is almost the same. For instance, statistics as part of your report you can bookmark and save interesting statistics once you are ready with the report. You can use the list of bookmarks for creating report navigation, organizing presentations of your report, and more.

Below are the following guidelines that are included in a bookmark:

-> Current page
-> Filters
-> Slicers
-> Sort order
-> Drill location
-> Visibility
-> Any of the ‘focus’ modes

You can handle this feature as many times as you want, add multiple bookmarks, view and also rename them. The bookmarks can also be used in the form of presentation or as a story. And to do so by using the ‘View’ option to enter into the view mode for bookmarks. In the Power BI Desktop, you will be in the view mode where you can preview all your bookmarks. Hence, the Power BI tool is a great way to navigate bookmarks.
