Buttons on a dashboard--when designed well--help users analyze the presented charts and data. However, it can be challenging to create buttons that are functional, user-friendly, and professional-looking. In the workshop, you will learn how to collect custom shapes from online free icon libraries and use the shapes in button making. You will also learn how to create buttons that enable users to disclose helpful information, reveal filters and parameters, change the chart designs, and many more.
