Wave User Interface Updates
During a period of several months, we collected and reviewed extensive Wave user feedback, which helped identify areas of the user interface that could be further simplified. The end result is a new Wave user interface designed to provide a simpler and more intuitive user experience. The following an overview of what the those changes look like.
Dashboard and Workbook Navigation
The blue navigation bar was removed to maximize the data viewing space. Navigation between the dashboard and workspace is found on the top bar, providing a more accessible and faster way to move between the two spaces. Workspace has also been renamed Workbook to better reflect its function
Faster Access to Secondary Pages
The links to Data Connections, Settings, About, and Log Out have been relocated from the blue side bar to a menu that can be accessed by clicking on the kebab icon in the upper right corner
Help remains accessible by clicking on the help icon in the upper right corner
Simplified Control Panel
All control panel icons are on the same row. A blue background highlights which panel is open
Icons in Breadcrumbs
Icons are now embedded into the breadcrumbs across the top of the view to help you quickly identify a view's custom settings
View Selector and Tree Icon
The view selector and tree structure icons have been switched, and the tree icon only appears when applicable to the selected view
Refreshed Color Palette and Logo
Wave now has a brighter color palette and features Wave's new logo
