Dashboards can be organised into multiple pages with a tab bar at the top for navigation. Each page covers a distinct topic, and each page loads only its own analyses, so viewers only wait for the data they actually need.
When to use pages
Pages work well when:
The dashboard covers distinct topics a viewer would navigate to independently. A revenue manager reviewing business mix should not have to scroll past occupancy trend charts to find it.
The dashboard is large enough that scrolling becomes a barrier. Splitting content across pages keeps each page digestible.
Scheduled delivery needs to target a specific section. PDF, XLSX, and CSV deliveries support page selection, you can send the business mix page to one audience and the production sources page to another.
Performance matters. Pages load independently, so a dashboard with dozens of analyses across four pages will open significantly faster than the same content on a single long scroll.
One scroll is often better when:
The dashboard tells one continuous story where each section builds on the last, separating it into pages breaks the flow.
Viewers regularly need to compare content from different sections side by side. Pages make that harder.
The dashboard is short enough that a single scroll is not a burden.
How FLYR uses pages
FLYR templates use pages when each page answers a distinct analytical question.
The Detailed Performance Report has four pages, Overview, Business Mix, Production Sources, and About. A revenue manager who needs to review business mix goes directly to that page without waiting for the overview charts to load. The About page documents the full context: what the dashboard shows, how to use each filter, and the key metric definitions.
The Portfolio Overview organises pages by KPI, Revenue, Occupancy, ADR, so a reviewer focused on one metric is not scrolling past the others to find it.
Every FLYR template includes a dedicated About page as the last tab. It holds the dashboard's purpose, a section-by-section guide, filter and control explanations, and key definitions. The About page can be excluded from scheduled deliveries so it does not appear in PDF exports.
Adding pages
In edit mode, select Add > Page. When a dashboard goes from one page to two, page navigation tabs are automatically added to both pages. Every subsequent page also gets navigation added automatically. Dashboards support up to 15 pages, but in practice 7 or fewer is the right target, more than that usually means the dashboard is trying to cover too much ground and should be split into separate dashboards.
Duplicating a page
In edit mode, select the page, then click Duplicate page in the properties panel. The copy is labelled with "Copy" and inserted immediately after the original.
Naming pages
Keep page names short, one to three words, noun phrases. Name them after what they show, not what the viewer does with them:
Instead of | Use |
"View Business Mix" | "Business Mix" |
"Check your occupancy" | "Occupancy" |
"Production and sources breakdown" | "Production Sources" |
Page names typically derive from the section headers on that page, the text before the colon in a "Topic: Analytical Angle" heading. "Stay Period Breakdown: Volume and Pace" becomes the page "Stay Period Breakdown."
Order pages by how a viewer naturally moves through the dashboard, not alphabetically. Common patterns that work well:
By topic: Overview / Business Mix / Production Sources / About
By hierarchy: Portfolio Summary / Regional Breakdown / Property Detail
By KPI (when a metric selector is the main differentiator): Overview / Occupancy / Revenue / ADR
Note: do not name pages after time periods unless the data on that page genuinely only applies to that period. "This Month" and "Last Month" as page names usually means the same charts are duplicated for each time window. Use a date filter to handle time scoping instead, it is more flexible and avoids doubling the number of tiles and pages.
Reordering pages
Use the page selector dropdown in the toolbar to access reorder options. Confirm the new sequence before saving.
Deleting a page
In edit mode, select the page and click Delete page in the properties panel.
Note: text tiles on a deleted page cannot be recovered. Chart tiles and filters remain available in the workbook and can be added back to other pages.
Page navigation
When a dashboard has two or more pages, navigation tabs appear automatically. Viewers click a tab to go to that page.
To add page navigation manually, for example to add it to a specific location within a page layout, use Add > Layout > Page navigation in edit mode.
Page navigation can be connected to a specific page (label updates automatically if the page is renamed) or disconnected (label is set manually). You can also add tabs that link to external URLs alongside page tabs, useful for linking to related dashboards or reference materials directly from the navigation bar.
