By Impran M N
Overwhelming stakeholders with dense data tables the moment they open a dashboard makes for a poor first impression. A dedicated landing page gives users a clean, centralized gateway with navigation buttons pointing to deeper report pages. This guide covers designing that entry point inside Power BI Desktop.
01Apply a borderless background
Set up a modern canvas background using custom colors, transparency sliders, or an imported brand layout image to create a clean visual foundation.
02Build navigation shapes
Add clickable shapes or buttons styled as navigation elements pointing to your other report pages.
03Map button destinations
Configure each navigation button's action to jump to the correct destination page within your report.
04Group and organize layout panels
Group related visual elements together so the landing page stays organized and easy to maintain.
05Hide supplementary tabs
Hide any extra content tabs that aren't meant to be part of the main navigation, keeping the published view clean for viewers.
