When clicking on certain elements of a visual, I can control the interaction this selection has on other visuals within the report, but I was wondering if there is the ability to completely disable the clickability of a visual? I don't want the end users to be able to click on the visual at all, so neither the selected visual or other visuals would be highlighted? Tooltips should still be viewable on hover.
This feature should be available for use in both service and desktop.

RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
This is similar to the idea here, and im voting twice! https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/18394642--copy-paste-interactions-or-disable-all-interact ...
A great implementation of this would be: When the Edit Interactions button is clicked the Filter and Dont Filter options were listed next to every visual in the Pane. Then by highlighting the visual in question we could quickly see and modify which other visuals it interacts with.
RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
This is a very much needed feature! Since you cannot add a Visual Level Filter to a slicer I am quite often creating hidden slicers to filter the visible ones. each time I do this I have to edit the interaction of with every other element on the page and this becomes very tedious very quickly.
To expand on the earlier comment about adding it to the Selection Pane... A great implementation of this would be: When the Edit Interactions button is clicked the Filter and Dont Filter options were listed next to every visual in the Pane. Then by highlighting the visual in question we could quickly see and modify which other visuals it interacts with.
RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
This will be a great addition. Which I would implement immediately in a number of my reports.
RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
Disabling highlighting at the visualization level would allow greater report customization, I've been requested to add this functionality to one of our engineering reports (table visualization) - they'll have to wait for now I guess...
RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
I created 12 bookmarks, and now I should to disable all interactions between each other. "Disable all interactions" feature will be very helpful in this case, because it is enabled by default among all visuals.
RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
I back this up 100%! It would be immensely helpful if interactions could somehow be incorporated into the selection pane, just so there could be a way to eyeball interactions on a larger scale at least. For instance, I have a report that should have all interactions be either disabled, or fully filtering, none should be highlighting. However, by default it automatically sets up the filtering as highlighting for all newly added (or even copied) visuals!

Please take Redmond's suggestion on board!
RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
PowerBI shouldn't be sold without this feature.
RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
When you have 4 - 6 visuals on a page and you introduce a new one, it is irritating to go to edit interactions and click None on each of the other visuals and vice-versa.
RE: Disable visual highlighting and interactions
Yes! This would be so useful for me!
