Key Features
Your report needs contextual notes, metric definitions, or instructions for the viewer. Adding a floating text panel in Power BI Desktop means manually creating a group container, background shape, textbox, icon buttons, and two bookmarks — and getting the relative coordinate system, bookmark ID wiring, and z-order rules right across a dozen JSON files. This skill creates the complete panel infrastructure in one command — run it with /info-panel.
How it works
Type /info-panel, provide the page ID, and the skill builds everything:
Locates the report definition folder and confirms the page directory exists
Inherits the label font from any existing textbox on the page (falls back to theme defaults if none)
Creates a group container covering the panel bounds, positioned right-aligned by default
Creates a white rounded background rectangle inside the group
Creates a close icon button (top-right of panel) and title textbox (left of close button)
Creates a content textbox filling the panel body with placeholder text
Creates an info icon button on the main page layer (always visible, outside the group)
Registers 4 SVG icons in the static resources and wires them to buttons
Creates two bookmarks: ShowInfoPanel (makes all panel visuals visible) and HideInfoPanel (makes all panel visuals hidden), both registered in bookmarks.json
What you get
Group container — wraps all panel visuals into a single layer; hidden by default
Background rectangle — white rounded rectangle filling the panel bounds
Title textbox — bold label at the top of the panel
Content textbox — editable body area with placeholder text
Close button — icon button at the top-right of the panel; fires HideInfoPanel bookmark
Info button — icon button on the main page (always visible); fires ShowInfoPanel bookmark
ShowInfoPanel bookmark — wired to the info button; makes the group and all child visuals visible
HideInfoPanel bookmark — wired to the close button; makes the group and all child visuals hidden
4 registered SVG icons — info and close in default and hover states
All panel visuals start hidden (on the group container only). The info button is always visible on the main page layer.
