Beautiful Dashboards
So far, background images were used to make the dashboards look better but a big disadvantage of using images is that when you’re rescaling the dashboards, the image proportions are not correct anymore. With the new extension, all containers are scalable and can be changed at any moment! Even better, themes can be saved and loaded! All containers can have a similar layout and update on change. The EasyDesigns Extension helps you to create beautiful Dashboards in Tableau to show your business results on a next level!
Match your Corporate Identity
Changing the layout of all visuals is now easier than ever and you can even use your corporate identity in your Dashboards! Your layout can be stored in a file which you can share within your company so all employees can import and use it!
Themes
Use presets to load and store all settings. Default settings can be imported and used to sync settings over multiple containers, this way all containers look the same!
Companywide synchronization
Changing your brand (i.e., a background color) can become very tedious when having many dashboards. Not anymore! Save your template centrally on your server and update all dashboards by only replacing or editing this file.
Configuration
“No more external tooling needed!”
Presets: Use presets to import, export, and synchronise your Layout.
Tile: Set rounded corners and colors to your taste! You can even add a gradient where the type of gradient, crossover point and angle can be set!
Border: A border can be added to the tile. Use the slider to adjust the border thickness and change the color with the colorpicker.
Title: Add a custom title to your dashboards! You can change the font size, color and padding or set the alignment to left, center or right.
Caption: A caption can be added to the bottom of your containers in a similar way :)
Shadow: A shadow is of great use to elevate the tile and create depth in your dashboard. The displacement, blur and angle can be changed and a dark shadow can be applied, even as a light shadow.
Background: Adjust the background color to match the dashboard color!
Layout Settings
Want to have a good looking dashboard and don’t want to redo all your background images when changing a minor detail?
