Storyboard Customization#

Customizing a storyboard allows you to tailor the presentation of your data to better suit your needs. By rearranging insights, changing chart types and applying filters, you can create a more organized and relevant view that highlights key information and improves decision-making. This flexibility ensures that your storyboards are not only visually appealing but also aligned with your specific analytical goals and business context.

Arrange Insights#

To organize the insights within the storyboard, Click and Drag each insight to your desired position. This allows you to customize the layout to better suit your needs.
