Both types of embed codes include the ability to use special URL parameters in order to control the display of the embedded report. These parameters are included in the query string portion of the URL.

The query string portion of a URL is the portion of the URL that is after the question mark (?). For example, note the bold ? character in the following code:

https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=a9b01471-0982-4e14-bbf7-ddb60a89ab43&autoAuth=true&ctid=4a042743-373a-43d2-827b-003f4c7ba1e5

Multiple query string parameters can be used by separating the parameters with an ampersand (&) sign. For example, the preceding URL includes three separate query string parameters:

• reportId
• autoAuth
• ctid

There are two additional parameters that can be added to the query string of the URL:

• pageName
• filter
