Ask yourself a few questions: Does your toolbar match your brand, or does it still look out-of-the-box? How do your end users know what a dashboard is for? If a viewer needs a related report or a support contact, where do they go? And are there elements in the toolbar (the data source name, the refresh timestamp) that your end users just shouldn't be seeing? If any of those land, there's a fix.The Dashboard Toolbar from QBeeQ lets you take full control of the toolbar's appearance, content, and behavior, controlled from a single config file, applied globally across every dashboard in your environment.What is the Dashboard Toolbar?The Dashboard Toolbar is a free, partner-supported plugin from QBeeQ that replaces the default Sisense toolbar experience for Viewers. Instead of a generic, unbranded strip, you get a fully customized toolbar that reflects your brand, surfaces only what's relevant, and can even provide in-dashboard guidance and navigation without writing custom scripts for each dashboard. What it can doCustom Toolbar Background: Replace the default toolbar color with any brand color to align with your look and feelTitle Styling: Adjust dashboard title font, size, color, and weight to match brand guidelinesHide Toolbar Clutter: Remove the data source title and/or last refresh timestamp for a cleaner viewer experienceCustom Toolbar Icons: Add SVG or image-based icons with tooltips and click-through links customizable to docs, contact forms, or related dashboards🆕 Dashboard Descriptions: Add an info icon that opens a native-style popover with context about the dashboard, no scripting requiredA few use cases where it shinesBranded client portals: Apply your company's colors, fonts, and icons before sharing dashboards with external clients or stakeholders, so the experience looks intentional, not out-of-the-box.Self-service dashboard guidance: Add a description to each dashboard explaining its purpose, data sources, and how to interpret key metrics, so users can orient themselves without asking.Cross-dashboard navigation: Add toolbar icons that link to related dashboards, documentation, or support channels to keep users oriented across a larger analytics environment.Simplified viewer experience: Hide data source titles and refresh timestamps for business users who don't need that context, keeping the focus on the data itself.Before and afterBefore: After:It's free — part of the QBeeQ Starter PowerUpThe Dashboard Toolbar is included in QBeeQ's Starter PowerUp, a free bundle of 10 plugins built specifically for Sisense.
