How many widgets are on your most-used dashboard right now? And do all of your users actually need to see all of them? If you're spreading related content across multiple dashboards just to keep things readable, or if users are scrolling and hunting instead of navigating, those are signs the dashboard is working against you, not for you.The Widget Tabber from QBeeQ solves this by bringing clean, tab-based navigation directly into Sisense. Instead of cramming everything onto one page or building separate dashboards for each audience, you organize widgets into clearly labeled tabs and control exactly what each view shows. Users get to exactly what they need without the scroll, without the clutter, and without losing access to anything.What is the Widget Tabber?The Widget Tabber is a free, partner-supported plugin from QBeeQ that adds tab-based navigation to any Sisense dashboard. Each tab can display a different set of widgets, its own KPI metrics and trend indicators, and fully customized styling, all within a single dashboard view.It works alongside your existing Sisense setup and can be added to any dashboard without rebuilding your widgets or layout.What it can doUp to 10 Custom Tabs: Organize widgets into logical groupings — no more crowded, scrollable dashboardsPer-Tab Widget Visibility: Control exactly which widgets show or hide on each tabData-Rich Tab Headers: Display a primary KPI, trend metric, and "As Of" date directly on each tabTrend Indicators: Auto-colored green/red based on positive or negative metric valuesBranded Styling: Set font, color, and tab appearance globally or per tab to match your brandLazy Loading Support: When paired with the QBeeQ Performance Booster, widgets only load when viewedA few use cases where it shinesExecutive reporting: Every leader needs every view. Clean tab navigation lets each audience find what's relevant without scrolling through data that isn't theirs.Cross-department dashboards: Sales, marketing, and finance all live in the same Sisense environment but have different reporting needs. Instead of building and maintaining separate dashboards, one well-organized dashboard with distinct views can serve all three.Client-facing analytics: Consultants or agencies presenting dashboards to clients can organize findings into clearly labeled tabs (Summary, Detail, Trends), guiding the story without overwhelming the viewer.Data-heavy operational dashboards: Ops teams with dozens of widgets can offload rarely-used charts to secondary tabs, keeping the primary view fast and focused while still making everything accessible.How it compares to Sisense's native TabberSisense's Tabber handles the structure problem, using a container that shows and hides widgets. QBeeQ Widget Tabber handles the structure + information problem. The tabs themselves become data-rich, with KPIs, trends, and contextual dates visible before you even click into a view.It's free — part of the QBeeQ Starter PowerUpThe Widget Tabber is included in QBeeQ's Starter PowerUp, a free bundle of 10 plugins built specifically for Sisense. No cost, actively maintained and supported by the QBeeQ team.👉 Get the free Starter PowerUp🔗 Widget Tabber Product Page 📄 Widget Tabber DocumentationHave questions or want to share how you're using it?
