When clicking on certain elements of a visual, I can control the interaction this selection has on other visuals within the report, but I was wondering if there is the ability to completely disable the clickability of a visual? I don't want the end users to be able to click on the visual at all, so neither the selected visual or other visuals would be highlighted? Tooltips should still be viewable on hover.

This feature should be available for use in both service and desktop.

More information on the unsuccessful attempts people have made trying to achieve this with graphs/charts can be found here:

Surely needed this feature. Huge time saver!
It's surprising it does not already exist by now!

RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions

Change multiple interactions simultaneously would save me lots of time!! Strange that it is not possible yet.

RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions

Although this idea mentions that ability to disable the interactions, I would like to see a way to disable or enable all of the interactions at once. I prefer to set all of my interactions to filter so having this functionality would save me a lot of time.

RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions

Well, having a window that allows us to edit the interactions visually like the Modelling View would be much appreciated.

Like this, but for interactions:
