It’s good to share ― it’s why we love it when Einstein Analytics users share their own tips and tricks. And if you’re looking for tutorials and ideas to make your Einstein Analytics dashboards even more interactive and customized, then look no further than Peter Lyons’ YouTube channel, Let’s Play Salesforce. Over at Huron Consulting, Peter specializes in Einstein Analytics, spanning the spectrum of Salesforce product and services: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, AppExchange, Community Cloud, Marketing Cloud, IoT, and Analytics.

Customizing dashboards so they’re intuitive and allow users to interact with data in exactly the right way, with the right visualizations, groupings, sorting, and linking is all key to end-user engagement, which ultimately drives analytics success.

With Peter’s practical step-by-step guides, you’ll learn how to add that extra customization touch to your dashboards — including everything from changing chart groupings on-the-fly, to linking charts together, through adding conditional highlighting, and much more.

Here are just some of thing Peter covers on enriching Einstein Analytics dashboards that we thought are ideal for fellow users to try out too:

  • Using bindings to change the grouping of a chart with a toggle
  • How to show a different measure for each grouping that is selected
  • Dynamically setting a reference line with results binding
  • Adding toggles for Top 5, Top 10, and All
  • Filtering a step from the results of a different step
  • How to dynamically change the color of a reference line based on the value
  • Custom sorting and coloring groupings
  • Dynamically controlling a label and conditionally displaying or hiding text
  • Pass bindings across datasets
  • Point-and-click binding with Connected Data Sources

As a bonus, Peter has included his take on the Einstein Analytics Winter ’18 release with a sneak peek, covering a whole host of some of the upcoming features ― and which ones he plans to get started on using right away.

If you’ve got a YouTube channel or blog with best practices on Einstein Analytics that you’d like to share with the broader community, let us know— you might just get featured on the Salesforce blog too.

Thanks, Peter, and keep up the great work!
