Please add the ability to subscribe to personal bookmarks. The "Subscribe" feature currently sends a snapshot of the default view with no ability to customize filters in the subscription.

The recent addition of personal bookmarks allows our users to customize reports as needed, and they have been asking for a way to get these personalized bookmark views sent by email. If you could extend the personal bookmarks to the subscription options that would be very helpful.

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: Allow subscriptions to personal 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.)
