With the 5.2 update, most of the settings in Zebra BI Tables and Charts visuals can be bookmarked. This will save you a lot of time and enable report viewers to simply switch to the view that suits their needs best.
Bookmarks are an integral part of creating reports and dashboards as they enable you to simply select and save the settings for the desired view and return to it whenever it’s needed. With the 5.2 update of Charts and Tables visual, we now enable also the bookmarking for almost all advanced features, e.g., report page tooltip, dynamic comments, etc.
What can be bookmarked and how to do it?
