    Tabbed dashboards retrieve the data for all tabs when selected, which is why you get the prompt even when you're not on the tab. Your best bet is to use buttons (that look like tabs) on the main dashboard. Not only will this address what you're trying to accomplish, it will also render the main dashboard faster as it's only querying the data for one dashboard and not all tabs.

    Hey Chul,

    Thanks for the help!
