Needs to work exactly like "Pin live page" but for a single tile only.

If I change a tile's underlying selections, I want it to update on the dashboard, which currently it does not. Currently a tile keeps the selections as at the time of pinning it - causing me to re-pin the tile every time I want to make a selection change. "Pin live tile" would alleviate this effort.

Thanks

RE: Pin Live Tile

Surprised this is not how it works by design alread. The whole pinning concept doesn't match how this should function in our digital world. We should at least be 'alerts'ed. "note that you have pinned previously saved versions of xyz to abc dashboard"

RE: Pin Live Tile

Hello Team, Any update on this ? As this is defeating the purpose of live business intelligence dashboards.Each time when the report filters are updated i will have to re-pin each tiles and imagine an enterprise firm would have many reports and a consolidated dashboard which shows the main KPI metrics in one single view. This needs to be considered as bug not a product design. If this is not fixed then please give me the business reason why this is designed in this way to show old data ?

RE: Pin Live Tile

I would be for this, but only if the tile reflects the updated status of report visual *as published* (publish here means .pbix file -> power bi service). If filters and slicers are applied to the report visual while in the service, I would not want tiles to constantly update to reflect those changes. Just make the tile match the published report -- in every way, not just in terms of the underlying data.

RE: Pin Live Tile

This is creating a big issue for a customer of ours, as the underlying reports are changing very often and they have to repin every tile. Just add an option that every change to the underlying visualization gets automatically pushed to the tile.

RE: Pin Live Tile

This is very annoying, and it takes alot of time to update all the pins, when the reports change. There should be some kind of connection, so that the tile is "live"
