Power BI App properties

Report properties

Authentication

The Authentication property shows a list of available named credentials that store the Client ID, Tenant ID, Client Secret Value of published Power BI reports.

The named credential must be configured of type "Username, password and DomainName". The following list shows the mapping of Power BI report properties to a credential's username, password, and domain name:

User name = Client ID

Domain name = Tenant ID

Password = Client Secret Value

Workspace ID

Unique ID of the workspace where Power BI reports are published. The Workspace ID appears as part of the URL when the published report is displayed in a web browser.

Shows a validation error in the property grid if the configured WorkSpace ID is an invalid GUID or longer than the maximum character length, which is 36 characters including hyphens.

Report ID

Unique ID of a Power BI report. The Unique ID appears as part of the URL when the published report is displayed in a web browser.

Shows a validation error in the property grid if the configured Report ID is an invalid GUID or longer than the maximum character length, which is 36 characters including hyphens.

Appearance properties

Active Page

Sets the active page displayed by the Power BI report as well as when the user changes the displayed page by a mouse click or touch gesture during runtime. The page selected by the user is written to the Active Page property as if it were bound to a reference in Write or Read/Write mode.

This property can be used to show a selected page when the Page Navigation is disabled (which results in hiding of the pages of a report).

If the configured name of the page is not present in the Power BI report, or if it is not configured, the app defaults to showing the page that is set as an active page at the report level by the Power BI administrator.

Users can change the active report page shown by the Power BI report by using data binding or layout scripts in the Power BI App.

Show Filter Pane

Determines whether the Filter pane of the Power BI report is displayed or not. When set to true, the Filter pane appears in the report.

Page Navigation

Determines whether the ViewApp Navigation pane is displayed or not. When set to true, the Navigation pane appears in the report. When set to false, the active page displayed in the report is set by the value of the Active Page property.

Transparent Background

By default, the background of the embedded content is white with gray margins. If you prefer to use a different background, you can give the embedded content a transparent background. Then, you can apply the style you want to the HTML div element that contains the embedded content. The div element's styling then becomes visible.

Display Option

Controls the display of a report page within the dimensions of the pane in which the Power BI App has been placed.

0 = FitToPage

Report contents are scaled to fit entirely within the pane dimensions.

1 = FitToWidth

Report contents are scaled to fit within the width of the page.

2 = ActualSize

Report contents are displayed at their actual size.

Contrast Mode

Display a Power BI report in choice of several high-contrast color combinations based on an assigned integer value.

0 = None

1 = HighContrast1

2 = HighContrast2

3 = HighContrastBlack

4 = HighContrastWhite
