Cross Dashboard Navigation
Anyone who develops reports with Power BI knows that they can build a dashboard on top of their reports. Sometimes the visuals to pin to the dashboard are too many and the space available is not enough you must use the hateful scroll bars.
In these cases, we usually resolve the problem using multiple dashboards which we can divide the visuals in by topics.
When you will create the Power BI App you will have two dashboard in the navigation menu.
However, not everyone knows that as with report pages, dashboards can also be hidden within the Power BI app by managing navigation using special tiles.
A few simple steps are enough to achieve this.
Let’s Add a tile from the Edit menu of the dashboard.
Let’s select the TextBox or Image type and move on.
After adding the text or selecting the image we want to see in the card, we need to check the Set custom link flag and the Link to a dashboard or report in the current workspace radio button.
Then simply select the target object, in our case the Secondary dashboard, and click the Apply button.
Let’s format and place our new tile, then click on it and…
Obviously you can add another link as this one to the Secondary dashboard to go back to the Home dashboard, and so on. At the end you can hide all the dashboard but the Home one in the navigation menu of the Power BI App to simplify and better manage the user experience with your app.
