NEW UX: Insights and Quick Links on Board Views

DavidE

After sitting with @monica_girel and fully realizing how powerful / useful "Insights" and "Quick Links" panels can be in the Worksheet pages, it fully baffles me why this isn't part of Board views.  Adding these to board views makes for a serious improvement in user navigation / experience by de-cluttering the main screen by showing

 

1. showing things I want my user to see once, but maybe not take up real estate all the time (i.e. page instructions), or

2. showing something I want the user to see no matter where they scroll on the page (i.e. page status indicators, important KPI's). 

3. using quick links to link to other pages having a bunch of buttons cluttering up the main page.

 

This would be a huuuuuuge improvement. Please make this happen!

What DS said - yes yes yes.

 

What i say: Can we just dispense with the separation and have one environment, one experience?

sofia_costa

DanielT

We are planning to add the insights panel to the report page so that users can update data in the panel and see the impact in real time in the report. Once this is available on the report page we then plan to add it to the Board page as well.

@sprender Awesome! So glad to hear this got some traction 🙂

@sprender , See that the insights panel was added to the report page in the recent Nov release. Any idea if we could see it on the board pages early 2024?

@sprender

I would also like to see this feature bubbled up to production!!!

This is something we absolutely want to add to Board pages in the UX. Unfortunately we don't have capacity to add in early 2024 due to other priorities but its something we would love to add in the second half of the year.

Glad to see there is so much interest in this addition.

@sprender Would really appreciate this update!

Any update?

sprender

Unfortunately we are unable to add this much requested update in 2024 but we have it in our current roadmap to release in H1 2025.

Assuming this feature gets implemented into boards.. where does this leave worksheets?

Sounds like the only difference is that a worksheet will just have one 'core' table whereas boards will presumably have multiple available at any one time.

Always wondered why Anaplan opted to introduce two dashboard types (management reporting makes sense given it's not really a dashboard) when the functionality of the two made sense to be available in a single dashboard.
