Question on data modeling and page navigation feature

[fawkes13]

Hello everyone!

We have built dashboards which have the following views: Landing page - which contains product selection, Detailed pages which have different views for different KPIs. In the detailed views, we have "tiles" for selecting the views that users would like to see (for example utilization, cost). 

Having said this, I have a requirement to add a new tile called 'forecast' in the detailed view. This won't apply to all products. So, if I am on product 1 where forecast is applicable, everything works fine. However, if I go to product 2's view, forecast data from "product 1" flows through as "product 2" didn't have any forecast data. 

This happens because of the ‘page-navigation’ approach we have adopted for optimized dashboard performance which retains brand/product information of the last viewed state.

Is there another approach to design the page navigation feature to avoid the above issue?

Hi @fawkes13

Please try the following steps

• Create separate bookmarks for products that have forecasts and those that don’t.
• Use a button-driven navigation logic to direct users to the appropriate bookmark depending on the selected product.
• You can hide or show specific tiles in the bookmarks for each product type.

Audience group is the same.

We have built dashboards

You have built reports.

"tiles"  are incidentally what you build dashoards with - unfortunate use of the word in your scenario.

Are you sure this has optimized performance?  Did you do usability testing?

[fawkes13]

Yes - reports have been built. My question is on the page navigation design. Is there any other suggestion from power users to enable views for one brand and hide it for another brand?

If you have sufficiently different audiences use separate reports.
