How many data points are needed to display for each variable?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nData consistency<\/h2>\n
This includes naming, formatting, values and design. As the main goal of the dashboard is to get the message across at a glance, nothing is worse than a possible distraction. If your data is named the same way in each tool, it will be easier for you and any other user to see clearly.<\/p>\n
Priorities and rationalization<\/h2>\n
Make a little effort and create a basic structure or a skeleton for your design which will help you see the co-relation, hierarchy and an overall \u201csystem\u201d between the elements. That\u2019s\u00a0 crucial for dashboard design as it is meant to organize a ton of information in a seamless way.<\/p>\n
– The top left corner of the screen will naturally get more attention the key info should be positioned from left to right. Also readers tend to move on down from the first row to the next one. If there are dependencies between the parts of your dashboard, create a continuous flow <\/b>so that users do not need to go back and forth.<\/p>\n
– Blocks (or cards) system<\/b> helps you group elements and separate those groups from other ones. Cards are easy to arrange, almost infinitely manipulatable and easily scaled up or down. It\u2019s crucial to keep the consistent layout of controls and data inside those cards (name in the top left corner, align view controls or actions to in the top right corner of the card, the rest for the content).<\/p>\n
– Increase your margins<\/b>. White space, also known as negative space, is the area between elements in a design composition and it matters as much as any other typography element. Keep enough \u201cair\u201d between your layout blocks.<\/p>\n
– Don\u2019t rely on interactions<\/b> with the information blocks. \u201cRead more\u201d, several tabs, long-scrolled boards \u2013 this all makes it more likely that only the superficial part of the information will be discovered. The opposite common mistake is try to fit all and everything in the main screen which leads to overwhelming a user. The solution is prioritization. Identify core information, summarize, synthesize<\/b> and surface only key info.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Personalization rather than customization.<\/h2>\n
Users expect that the content they see will be relevant to their individual needs. Personalization<\/b> is done by the system itself. The system should be set to identify users and deliver to them the content, experience, or functionality that matches their role. Customization<\/b> is done by the user. Giving him more power to customize the dashboard is a good initiative, as long the view is already personalized. But it is often an excuse to avoid a tedious process of truly finding out what each user role truly needs to see. And in the end the inexperienced user is left on his own.<\/p>\n
Well, this seems to be pretty much it.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget: as exciting as it may seem, the DESIGN is the last thing to do<\/b>, after having all your goals and KPIs correctly identified.<\/p>\n
