Designed for organizations managing multiple dashboards across departments, regions, or business units, Dashboard Navigator allows end users to move between dashboards without breaking context or losing their current filter state, and keeps the experience fluid and uninterrupted.

Dashboard designers can organize dashboards into logical groups with one or two levels of hierarchy, apply custom styling, and collapse the native Sisense sidebar entirely, resulting in a cleaner, more polished interface. Whether you're building an internal analytics portal or a customer-facing embedded deployment, Dashboard Navigator transforms complex dashboard ecosystems into an intuitive, seamless experience.

QBeeQ Dashboard Navigator showing the same Sample Healthcare analytics dashboard. This version uses a simplified single-row tab navigation: Overview (active), Cost Analysis, Patient Admissions, Length of Stay, and Departments — replacing the two-row tab structure seen in Image 1. All four KPI cards and their values are identical. The layout is more compact with reduced vertical spacing, and the same time range filters and bottom charts are visible.
