1. Creating tabbed dashboards
Let's take a deep dive into the steps involved in creating a dashboard with navigation controls.
STEP 1:Creating dashboard elements
Create the charts, cards, tables, and other elements that will be used in the dashboard. We've created a large number of elements for demonstration purposes. All the elements need not be created at the onset. You can add elements as you build the dashboard.

STEP 2: Creating groups
Create groups based on the elements to be placed in each report tab. For instance, the charts, cards, tables, and other elements in the Revenue Breakdown tab should be clubbed together under a single group.

STEP 4: Re-ordering groups
