Dashboards can sometimes require additional guidance for users who haven't used the application before. One way to assist these users is by adding contextual information and explanations of KPIs directly on the dashboard. Incorporating a button to show and hide this information can be an effective method to enhance user experience.
Clicking on the button with name Show/hide Information Button will show the object/group with name Information if it's hidden and hide it if it's visible. This is done with the use of the not condition operator block that will change a True to False and False to True. |
