Prompt Section should appear at the top of the Dashboard • For multi-page dashboards, be aware of the scope of your prompt • The number of pages per dashboard should not exceed the horizontal width of your screen – avoid having to scroll to pages • Don’t overuse the constrain option in prompts – it can really slow down performance • Check “Print Rows” setting of Dashboard, in PDF & Print Properties – All versus Visible • Consider web page eye movement and the level of priority of the elements of your dashboard.
