Hi @F_Reh ,
Great question! Designing a Home Page for a dashboard with so many pages can definitely get overwhelming. Here are some best practices and creative ideas to keep your Home Page clean and user-friendly:
1. Use Grouped Navigation:
- Instead of listing all 18 pages directly, group them into logical categories (e.g., Sales, Finance, Operations).
- You can use bookmarks or buttons that reveal sub-menus or navigation panels for each group, reducing clutter on the main Home Page.
2. Collapsible Menus with Bookmarks:
- Create collapsible/expandable menu sections using bookmarks and selection panes. Users click a group button to reveal relevant page links.
- This approach mimics modern web dashboards and keeps your layout tidy.
3. Visual Navigation Elements:
- Use icons, images, or custom shapes for each group or key report. This makes the home page visually appealing and helps users scan quickly.
- For example, use card-style buttons with clear labels.
4. Search or Quick Links Panel:
- Add a search box (text box with instructions) or a “Most Used Pages” quick link section to highlight the most important destinations.
5. Tooltip Guidance:
- Add tooltips to navigation buttons so users know what each section or page is about before clicking.
6. Navigation Templates:
- Consider using Power BI navigation templates from the community or marketplaces. Many offer clean, scalable navigation designs that you can adapt.
7. Hide Default Tabs:
- Turn off the default page tabs in Power BI (View > Show Tabs) and rely fully on your custom navigation for a more streamlined look.
Summary Flow:
- Group related pages > Use bookmarks for collapsible menus > Add visual buttons/icons > Highlight key or popular pages.
If you’d like, I can share sample PBIX files or step-by-step instructions for any of these techniques. Let me know which approach you want to explore!
