Top features of analytical dashboards
- Simple design: Dashboards with simple, easy-to-interpret designs are most popular. Users benefit from visually-appealing fonts, layouts, and colours that do not involve clutter as they allow users to more easily identify and understand data, insights, and other findings presented to them.
- User focus: Dashboards that are designed with the user in mind are easier to use, provide more valuable and actionable insights, and allow users to identify goals and monitor their organization’s progress towards them. The best analytical dashboards are designed with the user’s methods, business practices, and desired benefits in mind, and let them easily find answers to data- and performance-based questions. They should also have additional functionalities that allow users to communicate data and insights on other platforms or through other forms of media, including exporting, emailing, and posting.
- Clear communication: Dashboards shouldn’t just present raw data; their job is to generate insights that have value and enable users to form strategies and make decisions. Effective analytical dashboards should piece together at least two data points in order to present users with valuable, actionable insights.
