Creating Books (Studio)

About Books

Books, or tabbed dashboards, let you combine up to 20 different dashboards into a single report. Books allow users to switch between related dashboards easily and quickly without having to go back to the homepage.

You can add a single dashboard to multiple books, and changes you make to that dashboard will be reflected in every book it is included in. Mix and match existing dashboards into different books for different audiences.

Creating a Book

To create a book, you need to provide a name for it and select the dashboards to include in it. You can add a single dashboard to multiple books.

There are several ways to create a book:

• On the Studio homepage, when you scroll down to Explore Dashboards & Books, click the New Book button.
  
• To create a book inside a specific folder, click the options next to that folder and select Create New Book.
  
• When viewing or editing any book, expand the options menu in the header and select New.
  
• Alternatively, you can duplicate a book.

Once you select one of these options, it’s time to start creating your book.

1. Provide a name for your book.
   
   Qtip: Book names must be unique.
2. Add a description for your book (optional).
3. Select a dashboard to be included in your book.
   Qtip: For guidance on which dashboards you can add, see Editing Books.
4. After you select a dashboard, its name is used as the name for the tab. You can provide a different name as needed.
   Qtip: The maximum length for a tab name is 50 characters. Longer dashboard names are automatically shortened.
5. To add one more tabs to your book, click the plus sign ( + ). You can add up to 20 tabs.
   Qtip: Click the name of the tab to switch to it. The current tab is highlighted.
   Qtip: All book tabs appear in a single row. Use the arrows to navigate tabs.
   
6. To rearrange tabs, simply drag them by the move icon and drop them where you need.
   
   Qtip: By default, viewers will land on the first tab when they enter the book.
7. To remove a tab, click the trashcan icon.
8. Click Save when done.

Books appear under Explore Dashboards & Books with a book icon next to their names.

Qtip: If you have a long list of dashboards and aren’t sure which one is connected to a tab, click the link icon. It will automatically scroll you to the linked dashboard in your list.
