Imported Custom Visuals do not remain on Desktop after exiting BI Desktop.

Hi Fellow PBIers,

 

I imported a custom Visual for a report, the Chiclet Slicer. Everything works. If I save the report and shutdown PBI Desktop and return to PBID the Chiclet Slicer is there if i load the report that used it.

 

Is there a way of including custom visuals so when i am creating a New report i don't have to re-import my custom visuals?

 

Its fine with one or two but with a cirporate standard of maybe 10 custom visuals that means every time i make a new report i need to import those same 10 customs again.

 

Any ideas? Is there a folder i can load them in so PBID reloads them?

 

Any other ideas? Are others concerned with this issue ?

 

John

Hi,

 

Yes. Here is my solution:

 

Download the custom visuals you want into a separate subfolder. Then open a new Power BI Desktop and import the custom visuals.

Once you have done that now "Save As" and  choose "Save as template".  Reopen Power BI Desktop and select "Import -> Power BI Template".

 

That's it.

Hi,

 

I don't get option of 'Save as' , it just gets added to list of visuals. How can I keep in particular folder.
