Power BI iOS App - Report: Opening up specific section of report in Power BI iOS app with URL

[ezapp]

Hi,
 
We started using Power BI recently and created a report which consists of a few sections (or tab).
We set up a link to navigate to specific section of report by opening up Web App or Power BI Android app with the following url format and they are working fine.
 
…/ReportSection?ctid… (it takes user to first section of report)
…/ReportSection2?ctid… (it takes user to third section of report)
 
Howerver, when we opened up Power BI iOS (iPhone) app with the same urls, report section is always going to first tab.
Is it expected behavior or is it an known issue?
 
Would you please give us a piece of advice on this issue?
Thank you so much in advance.

Hi

We also checked this issue and it works as expected on iOS.

Do you refer to below scenario:

On the web, Edit a tile, add a custom URL to a specific page of the report?

Thanks

Hi Yariv,

We've got a feedback from system admin as in the following.

"You only have the ability to create custom URLs with a dashboard.   This report doesn’t have a dashboard so we are linking directly to the report."

It seems that your solution is applicable once we have an updated report which is associated with a dashboard.
I'll choose your advice as a solution but there might be more questions that would be followed as we make more progress on that.

Thank you so much for your advice.
