improved dashboard organization #2326
Comments
My only negative on this design is that it removes the dropdown menu for dashboards and thus forces an extra click & page load in order to reach dashboards. My thinking is ...
To offer a constructive option. I think it would be preferable if the dropdown remained and perhaps just showed the top N dashboards recently visited by the user, or some sensible mixture of the users dashboard views plus recent dashboards from the whole MB instance. Then at the bottom of the dropdown there could be a link to the full listing page for users to access when needed. |
Totally makes sense ! |
I completely agree that this is a desired improvement on organization. But as @moumny just said, we may still use a dropdown, but populated with users favorite dashboards. That is really a great idea. What I want to know is: |
Search + labels seems like a pretty solid solution. I was imagining a more structured ordering + grouping, but I don't see why this isn't better. To Allen's point, quick dropdown shortcuts seem nice, too. Populating with e.g. "Most frequently visited in last X days" may help overcome some of the challenges with "most recently visited" that @moumny points out. |

It's been a while since we've taken a look at this issue. Metabase has changed a fair amount since Kyle created the designs in this issue description, so I'm going to propose the following bite-sized, additive designs in order to solve some of the basic problems that still exist with dashboards in Metabase. 1: Give dashboards their own screen 2: filtering and favorites 3: archiving (and other actions) 4: Reordering dashboards 5: toggle from grid view to list view List view: side note |
Like it. Not personally convinced of the need for 5, but I'm a strong 👍 for 1-4 |
I think all 1 to 5 are really great improvement, list view offers more info in less space, so I'd also add it as an option. |
Duplicate of #1150? More discussion here so we should close that one if so. |
Yeah I think closing #1150 in favor of this makes sense |
Great to see this happening ! We have 20-30 dashboards and the dropdown is getting very long. Would it be possible to have "official" dashboards pinned by Admins ? |
Taken from Ticket 4900 These solutions are nice, but can we still incorporate a folder structure? Our business has over 40 clients, each that will require multiple dashboards. Is there a way to organize the dashboards in the drop down? Ideal State would be - Client 1 > |
Also, when do you see this rolling out (any of the solutions you have proposed)? |
Just like in #2204 we want to give you tools to add meaning and structure to your list of dashboards, and make sure those tools scale as your company does. (he said scale, points to gryffindor).
Some example problems:
The new dashboard listing page will feature the same set of functionality as the new saved questions page: (here's a quick overview, but see #2204 for all the details)
One exception from the functionality between questions and dashboards at this stage is the notion of viewing dashboards by "topics", since dashboards can contain data referencing many aspects of your business.
As always we'd love to get feedback on this proposed design so please weigh in on these features and let us know if they'll help with managing your dashboards!
