Why and Types of Dashboards
Why Dashboards
A man with a broom is standing sideways on the wall of a brownish-orange building. There are potted trees and plants near by. Several windows can be seen – one at street level, one approximately 6 feet from the ground the other at ten feet. Each of the windows are guarded by black wrought-iron fencing. A Lamp post is seen directly behind the horizontal man.

Tables vs Graphs
Table vs Graph
Table • Use when you need to read every value
• Use when you need to compare every value
Graph• Provides shape to your data and forms
• Shows patterns and trends
• Reveals relationships among many values
Types of Graphs and When to Use Them
Types of Graphs and when to Use Them
Bar Graph
• Use bar graphs when individual values are important
• Simple comparison of categorical subdivisions of one or more measures in no particular order
Types of Graphs and when to Use Them
Pie Chart
• Use to show the relative size of each pie segment (slice) to one another and to the whole.
• At times difficult to visually distinguish differences in slice sizes.
• Each pie chart can draw only one measure
Types of Graphs and when to Use Them
Line Chart
• Use to show and compare changes over time or sequential data
• Frequently used to show trends and performance
• Suggest a gradual flow between points
Types of Graphs and when to Use Them
Scatter Chart• X Y Plot
• Compare two sets of numbers at once, possibly revealing patterns and trends
• Numeric X-Axis
Bubble Chart• Three variables in two
dimensions
• Like scatter, with a third variable „Size‟
• Size of each bubble is used to show the data‟s relative importance
Techniques for Creating Dashboards
Techniques for Creating Dashboards
Creating Chained Filters• Secondary Filters are
based on Primary Filter
• Minimizes user views of unrelated criteria
Techniques for Creating Dashboards
Using Tab Controls• Provide More Content
• Minimize Scrolling
• Categorize Tab Content
• Create Multiple Dashboard Views within a Single Dashboard
Techniques for Creating Dashboards
Maximize Real Estate by Providing Parameter Driving Reports
• Create Parameters for any aspect of a report
• Allows Users to get a lot of information in a small amount of real estate
• Minimizes the amount of reports that need to be maintained
Techniques for Creating Dashboards
Drill Down/Drill Anywhere• Drill Down
• Use when you are only supplying one option for next level view
• Drill Anywhere• Provide multiple drill down
options
• Drill down to WebFOCUS reports, Websites, and any other system or job
