Dashboards are business intelligence (BI) reporting tools that aggregate and display critical metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) in a single screen, enabling users to monitor and examine business performance at a glance. Dashboards extract and communicate high-level insights such as anomalies, issues and trends for end-users of all skill levels, before they choose to analyze data in more detail using advanced mechanisms like contextual analytics.
As a high-level reporting mechanism, dashboards ultimately provide fast ‘big picture’ answers to critical business questions and assist and benefit decision-making in several ways:
• Communicating how a business is performing according to defined targets
• Improving informational awareness for everyone
• Organizing operational data into a well managed format
• Visualizing complex relationships in a easy-to-understand way
Dashboards increase data accessibility and transparency across the business and are helpful for both regular business users and advanced data analysts in monitoring operational health and gleaning high-level insights into performance, before further analysis in advanced tools.
Dashboards have broad use cases across organizations, and with the continuous evolution of embedded analytics, which has allowed dashboard reporting to be more deeply integrated into the daily workflows of the BI user.
