Hi everyone,  
I’d like to know if it’s possible to have multiple screens in my Node-RED dashboard to display graphical data — similar to browser tabs — where each screen can be accessed like an accordion panel or by clicking a button on the dashboard.

Is there a recommended way or node to achieve this kind of navigation?

Thanks in advance!

You can set the page layout to 'Tabs'

That is assuming that you are using the newer dashboard @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard.

Here is the document section on tab layouts for more information: [Layout: Tabs | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/layouts/types/tabs.html)

You can have multiple dashboard screens in the original dashboard or in it's replacement, and it's not restricted to the tabs view.

In the original dashboard widgets are placed in a group, and the group is placed on a tab. You should see a hamburger icon at top left which shows you the available tabs.

In @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard aka dashboard 2 widgets are in a group, a group is in a page and a page is in a ui-base. (currently you can only have one ui-base so it's redundant).  
The page can have different layouts including grid - which has the same hamburger button, tabs, etc.

If you are new to Node-red, get rid of the original dashboard and install dashboard 2. Nothing wrong with the original except it's no longer maintained.
