Dashboards
Combine charts into dashboards for monitoring and decisions.
📖 Key ideas
- Dashboards show key metrics (KPIs) at a glance.
- Top: KPI cards; middle: trends; bottom: details.
- Filters and slicers let users explore.
- Keep 5–9 visuals per page; avoid clutter.
- Tools: Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio, Dash/Streamlit.
💡 Real-life example: A dashboard is a car dashboard: speed, fuel and warnings visible at a glance while driving.
