It would be nice to have the possibility to use a visual as report level filters. For example a map that show all countries where a company is represented. If you click on one country all pages in the report are filtered to that country. Nowadays you have to create that visual in all pages of the report which is a waste of space and is also not user friendly.

*This should be considered key functionality*

I found this to be a very useful tool in Qlik Sense Desktop. I would get on developing it quick if you don't want to lose customers to Qlik!

This should be considered key functionality. As PBI reports grow more and more complex, the need to set a page filter using a visual component would be a great benefit. How about a property of visual to say the 'highlight' value is to be applied as a Report Level Filter.

This will soon be a common demand in our business, it makes the dashboards more intuitive
