The current bookmarking feature requires report creators to define bookmarks. Ideally, users would be able to save personalized bookmarks (similar to web browser) in addition to the author's pre-defined bookmarks.

For example, I might have a project management report or sales by stores. Each user of the report may have their own set of projects or stores that they want to quickly navigate between. These are relevant to the current users and not other users of the reports.

Thank you for all for being patient. I'm excited to announce that we're bringing personal bookmarks to all reports in the Power BI service. It's started to roll out today - check out my blog for more details: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-personal-bookmarks-in-the-power-bi-service/

RE: Personalized Bookmarks

Love the bookmark feature. Please allow users who access reports via an app (who may or may not be members of the underlying workspace) to create personal bookmarks. These bookmarks should survive any app or report updates as long as the report still supports the bookmark selections. Thanks.

RE: Personalized Bookmarks

That's a great idea. In addition those bookmarks should be shareable. So the user would be able to dig in the report, find some interesting points and share it to another user who is able to apply this bookmark himself on the report.

RE: Personalized Bookmarks

This is REALLY needed! We have hundreds of users, so it is completely impossible for me as a developer to define all filters in all bookmarks, for every single presentation that the users are preparing for on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Please find a solution fast - bookmarks doesn't make sense as it is now. Especially not when it also is impossible for the user to set filters before exporting to powerpointl. Right now i have hundreds of users copy/pasting screenshots into powerpoint every day!

RE: Personalized Bookmarks

Yes! While it's nice to be able to "favorite" an app, being able to do so for the individual reports within the app would be AMAZING

RE: Personalized Bookmarks

Hi,

Is that possible to get the link of Bookmarks in URL format.

RE: Personalized Bookmarks

I also need this. I have many reports in a premium node workspace. The various users of the reports have specific personas and associated areas of interest for the reports. One example is a production supervisor over a geographic area. His area never changes and it would be nice if individuals could set the bookmarks or filters to stick when viewing.
