Hi I found this slicer, Is it custom vizual?

[Baskar]

Yes u r correct , It is custom visual . which u r import that is called custom visual.

Try to avoid custom visual due to performance issue .

@Baskar Just curious about you rcomment that custom visuals will have performance issue. Can you elaborate more on this or provide some more information why there will be performance impact with custom visuals. Thanks!

ya sure, We have created Dashboard with Custom visuals data is little bit more not that much of data.

When trying to open in Services some custom visuals are taking too much of time to load , some times it's can't load.

so we had call with Power BI Development team , they are recommended remove and try to load report . then it should work at all time even loading speed also good.

As my practical experience i said  Don't go with custom visuals. Some custom visuals may be good, but its hard to find .

@Baskar Thanks for sharing your experience. Good to know. If that is the case there should be some sort of code coverage on custom visuals before someone use it, it will help that performance is not degraded because of poorly written custom visual. I'm sure there are other ways to handle it but I think some sort of code coverage is much.

I think it is chicklet slicer, custom visual.

That slicer in the solution template should be a custom visual. You can create a custom visual with the custom visual developer tools

@pstanek Without knowing the source and how it works, I would guess it is either a custom visual designed specifically like this. Or, it could be a combination of a couple existing slicers with possible overlay.

The top search could be a default slicer with only the search bar showing, and the bottom portion could be a chiclet slicer. I haven't see the full rounded circles as an option in chiclet, but that could be the image, or maybe an overlayed shape on top to make all the selections fully rounded.

- just guessing.
