Optimizing Sisense dashboard performance: A comprehensive guide
Sisense dashboards are designed to transform complex data into actionable insights. However, performance issues, such as slow loading times or timeout errors, can hinder their effectiveness. Identifying the root causes of these issues is crucial to ensure optimal performance. This guide provides a structured approach to troubleshooting and resolving common performance problems inRe: How to Dynamically Switch Between Multiple Data Models in a Single Dashboard?
Hi gabrielladawn , Great question — this is a common challenge when managing multi-tenant or regionalized data access in Sisense. Sisense actually supports this use case via Dynamic Elasticube Switching (Dynamic EC), which allows dashboards to switch between data models at runtime based on user, group, or other parameters — without duplicating dashboards or widgets. This keeps your dashboard design centralized and scalable. You can learn more about this approach here: https://community.sisense.com/discussions/build_analytics/set-dashboard-data-sources-by-user/1343 If you need help configuring this behavior, including managing data security and setting up dynamic switching logic, feel free to reach out. We’d be happy to guide you through best practices or plugin support if needed.

Single Sign-On (SSO) and Web Access Tokens (WAT) are two pivotal technologies in the domain of web security and user authentication. SSO simplifies the user experience by enabling access to multiple applications with a single set of login credentials, thereby enhancing both convenience and security. Conversely, WAT plays a crucial role in secure access management by granting temporary tokens that verify user identity and permissions across web applications. Both SSO and WAT are integral to creating a secure and seamless digital environment, each addressing unique facets of user authentication and access control. In the following sections, we will explore the mechanisms, benefits, and implementations of SSO and WAT.Re: More intuitive Pivot-table drilldown
Hi filski , Great point — this kind of intuitive drill-down interaction is a common request. As mentioned above, Jump-to-Dashboard is one native option in Sisense that can help achieve part of what you're looking for. For a more advanced and seamless experience, I’d highly recommend exploring the available solutions on the Sisense Marketplace. Although some may have similar names, they can differ quite a bit in capabilities — so a comparison is definitely worth it. One solution that could be a perfect fit is Paldi Solutions’ Expandable Pivot. The behavior you described — clicking to drill down and highlighting the path — is actually one of its core features. Here’s a quick example of how it works: In addition to that, the Expandable Pivot offers a rich set of features: Built with web sockets for fast data retrieval and fast refresh Sorting across the entire dataset Fully customizable design and formatting Export to PDF — including all rows and columns Simple yet powerful API for tailored customizations Transpose and pivot flexibility Self-service mode for viewers to restructure data Save and share pivot configurations And that’s just a partial list — we’re constantly improving it with feedback from users like you!

Hi BeckyCrittenden I’d love to add to DRay ’s comment and suggest another great option that might help with the use case you described. As part of Paldi Solutions' free plugins, we offer a tool called the Indicator Card. The Indicator Card is a widget that lets you display key metrics and trends — including static target values like the ones you mentioned (e.g., January Target: 300K). You can also show trend indicators (like arrows) to compare actual values against those targets. Here are a few simple examples of how it can look in practice: Again, this plugin is completely free for the Sisense community. If you’d like to try it out, feel free to reach out at [email protected], and we’ll be happy to help! Paldi Solutions - Number #1 Sisense Plugins DeveloperRe: Clustering entries on scatter map
Hi Martha , You're absolutely right — the native Sisense scatter map has a 500-point limit, which can be quite restrictive for larger datasets and doesn’t support clustering out of the box. For this type of use case, you might want to check out our Advanced Google Heat Map plugin: 🔗 https://www.paldi.solutions/sisense-plugins/advanced-google-heat-map It supports: Thousands of points Dynamic clustering And many other powerful features It’s built to deliver the kind of interactivity and scalability you're looking for — similar to Mapbox, but using a Google Maps component. Happy to answer any questions! Feel free to reach out — we're always happy to help 😊 📩 [email protected] Paldi Solutions – #1 Sisense Plugin DeveloperRe: Tooltip for Pie Charts
Hi Astroraf , I’d like to add to TriAnthony’s recommendation by noting that the suggested plugin is a community-developed one. Community plugins often break when upgrading Sisense versions, which can lead to unexpected issues. To stay on the safe side, I highly recommend checking out our officially supported and FREE Advanced Tooltip plugin. Once installed, you can easily enable tooltips for all widget types and customize them with any combination of dimensions and measures. And the best part? You can fully style the tooltip to match your dashboard and brand identity. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] to get it. Hope this helps! 😊Re: Dashboard - Passing Filter Values Using URL Parameters
Hello Community, I invite you to try the FREE Share Dashboard View plugin by Paldi Solutions—a simple and convenient way to pass filter values directly in the dashboard URL, eliminating the need for custom scripts. Feel free to reach out if you have further questions, we're always happy to help (: [email protected] Paldi Solutions - Number #1 Sisense Plugins DeveloperRe: Multi-Axis Chart
Hi lucycheng-8451 , While Compose SDK does not natively support more than two Y-axes, there are alternative approaches to enhance measure selection and visualization: 1. Switchable Measures Without Multi-Axis Complexity Instead of multiple axes, users can dynamically switch between different measures: You can use a custom script as described in Switchable Measure Dropdown. Alternatively, a BloX-based Measure Switching approach can be used. Important Note: These scripts require ongoing maintenance to ensure compatibility with future Sisense updates. 2. Advanced Measure Changer Plugin (Premium Alternative) For a scalable, no-code solution, our Advanced Measure Changer plugin offers: On the fly measures selection. Centralized control for managing measure selection across the dashboard. A fully supported, easy-to-maintain solution—without the need for scripting.
