Creating a story

Stories are designed for data storytelling. You can control what the users will discover, in which order, and add annotations and explanations throughout the Story.

Tip

Do not create a Story just to use it as a menu to navigate around the Dashboard. For that, you have the button object and the Go to Sheet… action.

Creating a new Story is as simple as creating a Dashboard; you can either click on the icon at the bottom-right, click on New Story from the Story top menu, or use the New Story button in the toolbar.

The Story workplace is quite similar to the Dashboard one. You'll find a central blank part where you can drop Worksheets and Dashboards. Again, modifying the Dashboards or Worksheets will impact the Story. On the left pane, you can also find two tabs: Story and Layout.

The main difference with Dashboards is the Story points. A Story is usually composed of multiple Story points. Each of them can contain only one Worksheet or one Dashboard. Here's an example...
