Tabbed dashboards

Tabbed dashboards allow you to distribute your data across multiple ‘tabs’, with each tab displaying up to fifteen tiles. This distribution of tabs and tiles greatly increases your data analysis capacity from a single dashboard.

You can add new, duplicate, rename, edit, and delete these tabs as required. Any dashboard filters that you select are also applied across all tabs.

Example: Using multiple tabs on the same dashboard allows you to have varying views of the same data. An example of this would be using the first tab as an executive summary, with more detailed views on subsequent tabs.

Filters on tabbed dashboards

Any filters you apply to a tabbed dashboard affect all tabs on that dashboard. This means that if you apply a filter to a tile on one dashboard tab, then when you switch to another tab the filter is automatically applied. Each tab ‘counts’ separately, so when you switch between tabs there is a short loading sequence on the tiles affected by the filter before the resulting data is calculated and displayed.

Note: Filters applied to tabbed dashboards only affect that dashboard and it’s tabs. These filters are not applied/don’t affect any of your other saved dashboards.

For more information on filters, see Dashboard Filtering.
