Advanced Edit Mode
The article is outdated, read updated article about advanced edit mode in official documentation of Power BI.
Visuals that require advanced UI controls can declare support of Advanced Edit Mode.
If supported, when in report editing mode, an Edit
button will appear in the visual’s menu.
When the Edit
button is clicked, EditMode is set to Advanced
.
The visual can use the EditMode flag to determine whether or not it should display such UI controls.
By default, the visual does not support Advanced Edit Mode.
If a different behavior is required, it should be explicitly stated in the visual’s capabilities.json
file, by setting the advancedEditModeSupport
property.
The possible values are:
-
0 - NotSupported
-
1 - SupportedNoAction
-
2 - SupportedInFocus
Entering Advanced Edit Mode
Edit
button will be visible if:
- 1 -
advancedEditModeSupport
property set in capabilities.json to eitherSupportedNoAction
orSupportedInFocus
- 2 - The visual is viewed in report editing mode.
If
advancedEditModeSupport
property is missing from capabilities.json, or set toNotSupported
, the ‘Edit’ button will not appear.
When the user clicks on Edit
, the visual will get an update() call with EditMode set to Advanced
.
According to the value set in the capabilities, the following will occur:
SupportedNoAction
- No further action by the host.SupportedInFocus
- The host pops out the visual into in focus mode.
