Dashboards and interactivity

Combine sheets into interactive dashboards.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Drag sheets onto a dashboard; use tiled or floating layouts.
  2. Set a fixed size or automatic size for devices.
  3. Actions: filter, highlight, URL, parameter and set actions.
  4. Device layouts optimise for phones and tablets.
  5. Keep a clear layout: KPIs top, trends middle, details bottom.
💡 Real-life example: Dashboard actions are light switches: click one chart and others light up or filter.
