Hidden visual layers
"Hidden visual layers" is one of the governance checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. Visuals are hidden on the page but still refresh with every interaction. It is a medium-severity finding: the model still works, but results are wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Delete visuals that no bookmark needs; for bookmark-driven visibility keep an inventory in the selection pane.
What is detected
Visuals are hidden on the page but still refresh with every interaction. They cost queries and hide logic that is easy to forget.
Why it matters
Wrong in some filter contexts, slow, or fragile under change. Fix in the next iteration.
How to fix it
Delete visuals that no bookmark needs; for bookmark-driven visibility keep an inventory in the selection pane.
