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.

RE: Allow subscriptions to personal bookmarks

Absolutely shocked this feature is not available. SSRS has this capability!!! The more I use PBI the more I find lacking features compared to other, much older products. Agree with all others who commented that subscriptions are almost useless if you cannot set the filters in a subscription. Seems like this would also be relatively easy to implement technically compared to some of the other features I see announced.

RE: Allow subscriptions to personal bookmarks

Subscribing to an unfiltered report has very limited usefulness.

Unsure the lag on this compared to similar products in the market

RE: Allow subscriptions to personal bookmarks

As this idea overlaps with a number of others, maybe it would be possible to unify these.

Together they have about 300+ votes.


I suggest that we merge this idea with the related ideas, to reflect the priority that is the common need across these ideas, to subscribe to the Personal Bookmark that you choose:

RE: Allow subscriptions to personal bookmarks

Without customized subscriptions, much of the bookmark / personal bookmark functionality loses considerable usability.

RE: Allow subscriptions to personal bookmarks

Same feedback as the other comments - subscriptions lose most of their usefulness when you can't receive the information relevant to you personally. Need this functionality to unlock the power of subscriptions.

RE: Allow subscriptions to personal bookmarks

Subscriptions are incredibly limited without Custom filters and/or Bookmark options.
