More than one year after the first release of Smart Filter Pro only as a private custom visual for Power BI, we have released the latest version of Smart Filter Pro (2.1.4) also on the AppSource marketplace. In this article, we explain why we made this decision and why we support both versions (private and AppSource), even though we suggest switching to the private version instead of using the version downloaded from the AppSource marketplace.

This article describes different techniques to update Power BI custom visuals in existing reports, and then compares certified and non-certified Power BI visuals considering security and business continuity aspects.

Smart Filter Pro is publicly available: this article contains a few updates about deployment, licensing and pricing.

Upgrading the preview version of Smart Filter Pro requires a particular procedure. This will be not required in any future updates of OKViz custom visuals. We included a detailed guide to make sure you will not lose any property of the custom visual you must upgrade.

Smart Filter is a Power BI visual that works like a slicer and can be connected to multiple data columns. Smart Filter is available for free in the Marketplace.

The Power BI Organizational Custom Visuals (OCV) repository is the best way to share third-party custom visuals within your organization. This is especially useful for custom visuals not available in the public marketplace. The OCV repository is automatically included in your Power BI Pro license and the visuals stored there can be used both from Power BI Desktop, and online.
