Linking Dashboards to Unlock Deeper Insights

Dashboard linking the easy way

Dashboards are powerful tools for visualizing data, but their real potential is unlocked when they’re interconnected. By linking dashboards, users can seamlessly move between high-level summaries and more granular details, transforming their data exploration into a dynamic, continuous learning experience.

One of the key advantages of linking dashboards is the ability to provide context without overwhelming users. For instance, a user can click on a metric to open a secondary dashboard that offers definitions, explains methodologies, or links to FAQs. This functionality ensures that users fully understand the data they’re viewing, helping them avoid confusion and increasing trust in the insights.

  1. Add a text widget to your dashboard
  2. In the text widget click Edit
  3. Enter single link or multiple links (you can link to multiple dashboards in one text box)
  4. Select link text and click on the link icon
  5. Select “Dashboard” radio button
  6. Select the desired dashboard from drop down menu
  7. Click “Ok”
  8. Click “Save” in the text editor window
