Report Index

[cdelladonna]

Hi Everyone,

So I'm building a pretty big list of reports for mgmt and they want an intuitive way to navigate through all of these reports. Similar to how many people make an index sheet as the first sheet of an excel workbook, is there any way where I could have a list of the reports on the first page and have links to each one indiviually? It is not exactly intuitive to go to a particular link and then scroll through each of the pages to try and find out what you are looking for, even if the titles are labeled on each sheet. They want to be able to look at a master list, and then navigate to the report that they want to see via link. I understand that I could make a bunch of individual reports and then post all the different hyperlinks on a singual report/dashboard, but I feel like there must be a better way. Any ideas/tips would be so helpful.

Thank you so much,

Chris

I would think that you could create a text visual listing the report name for each report and pin them all to a central dashboard. You can control the links individually on the dashboard by editing each tile. If you create the tile from the report you want to link to (and then delete the visual from the report) then you wouldn't even need to manually edit anything.

The only issue with that is that there are reports with multiple sheets. Is there any way that I can have different tiles point to the different sheets? I want to try and eliminate any excess scrolling/searching through sheets. Rather, I would have all different tiles point to different report pages.

Thanks again.

Hi @cdelladonna,

You are able to set different tiles to point to different report pages. You can check the example in the following screenshot, I create a central dashboard, pin visuals in different pages of “as” report and “DialGauge”  report to this dashboard. To make each tile be easily recognizable, I add report name in the title of each tile.
