Seeking Design Advice: Adding View Toggle Buttons to Admin Dashboard
First let me say Thank You to everyone that replied, means the world to me.
After review of what everyone said, I took a little from everyone and was able to build bookmark buttons that the Leadership loved.
So thank you greatly, and i will be using some of your ideas on new dashboard (reports)
MSchlaudraff A design that I have seen used successfully is to make the buttons appear to be tabs in the header area. So for you that would be in the blue area. I would probably move the gray box in that area over to the left and then do some formatting of the buttons that make them appear to be tabs on the far right side of the header area. You would actually have 4 buttons, each button would actually have 2 overlapping/stacked buttons that you would control via bookmarks so that you have a different color depending on whether the tab is active or not. In an active state, the background color would be white to make it merge with the main content area, thus looking like an actual tab. You can adjust the state for hovering over the "tabs" as well.
