Managed Reports

The Managed Reports view in the BI Pixie item is your central hub for viewing and managing all Power BI reports tracked with Pixies. From here you can see which reports are being tracked, perform management actions like updating Pixies and releasing report slots, and jump into the Test Events view to confirm that events are flowing.

How to Get Here

Open the BI Pixie item from your Fabric workspace, then open the Managed Reports view from the sidebar. The list scopes automatically to the workspace where the BI Pixie item lives.

Reports List

The Managed Reports list shows every report in this workspace that is tracked with Pixies. From here you can see each report's status, who added the Pixies, and take actions like updating, removing, or releasing reports. The list shows the following columns:

Column Description
Report The report name.
Workspace The Fabric workspace containing the report.
Added By The email address of the user who added Pixies to the report (Admin only).
Status Shows "Pixies Added" or "Pixies Removed".
Date When Pixies were added or removed.
Actions Settings icon, View in Power BI link, and action menu (three-dot icon).

All columns are sortable. Select a report row to open it in the Test Events view.

Report Actions

Each report row has three action elements:

Settings Icon (Gear)

Opens the Tracking Setup view pre-filtered for that specific report, so you can view or edit its tracking configuration.

View in Power BI (External Link Icon)

Opens the report directly in Power BI in a new browser tab.

Action Menu (Three-Dot Icon)

A dropdown menu with the following options:

Action What It Does
Update Pixies When you make changes to your report, this is where you update the Pixies to ensure that your tracking data stays accurate. Opens the Add Pixies flow with this report pre-selected for updating. We recommend updating Pixies after any change to the report definition.
Remove Pixies Removes all Pixie tracking elements from the report and restores it to its original state. Opens the Remove Pixies flow with this report pre-selected. This action is only available when the report status is "Pixies Added". See Remove Pixies below for more details.
Delete all events Permanently deletes all collected event data for this report. The report remains tracked and continues collecting new events. This action cannot be undone.
Release report slot Need to track a different report without exceeding your plan's report limit? Release a report slot to remove the report from tracking and delete its collected events, freeing up the slot so you can track another report in its place. The number of remaining releases is shown on the BI Pixie item Overview view.

Verifying Events

After adding Pixies to a report, use the Test Events view to verify that the Pixies are working and capturing events. Select a report in the Managed Reports list and switch to the Test Events view, or use the action menu on the row to jump straight there. See Test Events for the full walkthrough.

Remove Pixies

To remove Pixies from a report, open the action menu (three-dot icon) on the report row and select Remove Pixies. The Remove Pixies flow opens with the report pre-selected.

When you remove Pixies, BI Pixie reads the report and semantic model definitions, strips all Pixie tracking elements (visuals and hidden measures), and writes the clean definitions back to your workspace. Your report is restored to its original state before Pixies were added.

After removal, the report's status changes to "Pixies Removed" in the Managed Reports list. The report remains listed so you can still view its previously collected events or release the report slot. No new events will be collected.

Note: Remove Pixies is only available when the report status is "Pixies Added". If your plan has expired, you can still remove Pixies during the 7-day grace period. After the grace period ends, access to the BI Pixie item is suspended.
