Hi Patric, Can you please do a video on how to configure a Push dataset? Thank you.

[mikelawson]

doesn't the bookmark navigator seem a bit buggy ? for example when I select another button the previously selected button seems to stay in the selected colour until you hover over it again - you can even see that happening in this video. what do others think ?

[gopichand]

In this new update, Button Action options is missing (button action for bookmark, pagination etc)

[erhaneren]

Great job, my friend. You saved me time and money.

[Robbocop]

I tried to replace all my buttons with the new bookmark navigator. I have multiple sections on my report so I need to add multiple bookmark navigators. So far so good. However, if I click on a bookmark navigator for section A, bookmark navigator for section B looses its Selected state. Any work around for that behavior is highly appreciated.

Thanks for making this video !! It helped me saving time while I was making dashboard for my client.🙂

[chinmaygarg]

Great video - that grouping deature is the one I really needed!

[EladAppel-ubbs]

Thanks so much on explaining the grouping issue. cool

A well needed update just in time for the next update to my dashboards. Thanks Patrick for being a great teacher and making all this fantastic content!!! Thanks for the role-play relationship video too, it helped me solve a big problem with my data where I had two groups of people wanting to used different date columns to display the same information for the whole dashboard. Well now they can toggle between the relationships to their hearts content. Thanks again :-D

Awesome! Thanks for the awesome content

Seems like Bookmark navigator should allows you select which bookmarks to show or not show (like the page navigator does).

[heisenberg]

how did you link the Back-Arrow-button with an action. Since the update i can't link buttons to actions to run a bookmark. I only can use bookmarks through the new bokkmark navigator

[DawnPeacockOwens]

I tried it but was not happy that the fill color of the bookmark didn't revert to the default color when I chose a different bookmark. Going to have to stay with the old fashioned way for now.

[jekyllhyde]

I wish you could format the Bookmark Navigator as a drop down rather than buttons though

[emilyamalkin]

Did navigator is a great concept but I find them glitchy when I created a lot of bookmarks my navigator just doesn’t hold the selected state of the filters! Very frustrated even though I save everything with data and do it properly but after a while the filters are not being “remembered”

[adolfojsocorro]

Opening the Filters pane resets the selected button (but does not execute the associated bookmark). :(

Hi Patrick! I've noticed that some of the functionality is limited when the Bookmark navigator is hidden. Specifically, the selected Bookmark doesn't stay updated. My original solution was gonna be to format the selected state the same way as default but then the hover formatting disapears. Any ideas on how to deal with this given the desire for a app-like feel with hidden navigation?

[PrideEnchantaVagale]

with cross report drill though. this bookmark doesn't work. shows default

[anetak]

Is it possible to change the displayed text without changing the bookmark title?

[vinodkbg]

Hi, is bookmark navigator syncs with a visual on the same page?
