Smart Filter Pro
Smart Filter Pro by OKVIZ is an advanced slicer for Power BI that can search through multiple data columns at once. It allows you to filter data in a more flexible way than the built-in slicers or other solutions.
Smart Filter Pro can be used in five different modes:
- Dropdown mode: Works like an autocomplete search box – start typing text and the top matching records are instantaneously displayed in a dropdown list.
- Filter mode: Filter your data with advanced queries. You can use wildcards and logical operators, with little impact to the performance even with thousands of records.
- Search mode: Search data faster. Better performance and dynamic search that starts while you enter text.
- Hierarchy mode: Turn the visual into a tree-view slicer.
- Observer mode: Show all filters currently applied to your reports.
- Filter data with advanced queries
- Search on demand (Filter/Search modes) - no needs to load all data
- Include multiple modes in the same visual
(Desktop, Mobile, Web, Server, Embedded)

Frequently Asked Questions
No, Smart Filter Pro is not certified by Microsoft. This is because it utilizes advanced features to enable powerful Filter and Search modes that are not supported by the latest Power BI API, which is required for certification.
However, Smart Filter Pro is a widely used and trusted solution, relied upon by thousands of users worldwide for efficient data filtering in Power BI.
OKVIZ licensing works on a subscription basis. You can choose between a monthly or yearly subscription. The subscription includes access to the visual, updates, and premium support.
Yes, you can try our visuals for free before purchasing it for 1 month. The trial version is fully functional and includes all the features of the paid version. The only limitation is that the trial version is watermarked.
Note that you can try a specific visual only once within your organization or personal account.
Yes, our visuals are 50% off for students, teachers, schools, government, and nonprofit organizations.
We consider "user" any person who uses the visual in a report, either by creating the report or by viewing it. The number of users is limited by the number of licenses you have.
Example: If you have 1 report designer and 10 report viewers, you need a license tier that covers 11 users.
The per-site licensing is available when using the licensed visual in a Power BI Embedded environment. The licensing cost is per-site and the visual cannot be used in a regular Power BI report published on Power BI Report Server or on Power BI Service (powerbi.com).
No, the two licensing models are incompatible. You need to purchase a new license from the OKVIZ website and cancel the subscription on AppSource.
You can choose whatever is more convenient between a per-user license and a pre-node license. If you choose a user license, you need a tier that includes all the users that access one or more Power BI Report Server instance. If you choose a server license, you need a node license for each server running Power BI Report Server.
Yes, you can use a licensed OKVIZ custom visual in a report published through Power BI Embedded. However, you can save money on licensing by getting a per-site license if it is less expensive.
Bugs
If the bug can be fixed within the OKVIZ visual’s code, we typically release a new version within 5 business days. However, if the issue depends on external services beyond OKVIZ’s control, we will make our best effort to find a workaround but cannot guarantee a timely resolution.
If you purchased the visual from AppSource, you will also need to account for the AppSource deployment process, which may take 2 to 3 weeks, depending on whether the visual is certified.
Regressions
If there is a regression with a new version of a custom visual, customers with an active paid subscription have access to a private area where the latest three (3) previous versions of their licensed OKVIZ visuals are available.
If you installed the visual from AppSource, the process takes longer because OKVIZ must request Microsoft support to roll back the visual to the previous version. This process typically takes around a week.
A regression is a previously fixed issue or working feature that breaks due to new changes in the code.
