Dashboards

Dashboards are a quick and simple way to display minimal information at first sight. It is a data visualization composed of a collection of visualizations which are laid out to communicate the status, metrics, or performance of a business. Each visualization is meant to have different pieces of related information, enabling users to make sense of their data.

The Dashboard Creation Process

• Discover the KPI: decide what you or your analysts want to show in your dashboard, and what it needs to revolve around.

• Plan the Dashboard: how will you represent your information graphically? Will you use a grid, a map, gauges, category charts? Will you use any filters?

• Prepare the data to be used in Analytics. Here is a quick overview of how to work with spreadsheets in Analytics.
