Interactive data visualisations and interrogation dashboards at a glance

Interactive dashboards provide real-time insight into key metrics by allowing users to visualise, filter, and dig deeper into their data.
They enable end-users to directly interact with their data, which allows them to develop a deeper insight and knowledge of the numbers driving their business. Therefore, they can be empowered to make more informed and confident decisions.

Dashboards let you to view and interact with your data on many levels, from “snapshots” of big ideas to detailed reports. In order to view these detailed reports of the numbers driving your top-level view, you simply need to incorporate a drilldown into your dashboard. When a user is interacting with your dashboard, drilldowns allow them to click on a chart or graph and dig deeper into the data. It provides a closer look at a specific data set, so everyone can understand the factors and data points that influence your main KPIs.

Since interactive dashboards let you view multiple sets of data at the same time, you’ll start to see relationships between metrics you didn’t notice before. In many ways, data is like colour: It can look different depending on the context. What appears to be a “dark” colour in one scenario could appear “light” if you surround it with black. That’s because the surrounding colour (or data) changes the context.

One of the major benefits to an interactive dashboard is a user-friendly, easy-to-share format. With all of your data in one place (your interactive dashboard) you can deploy it to every level of your organisation quickly and easily. This way, users won’t get bogged down trying to find and interpret data because it will be ready for use at a moment’s notice.
