Stream Dashboards

A Stream Dashboard is an interactive visual interface that displays real-time or frequently updated data, allowing users to adjust views, filters, or other parameters to see different data representations without the need to create a new dashboard for every new query or perspective.

Purpose

Data dashboards deliver real-time insights, empowering users to make informed decisions through interactive exploration. They boost efficiency by eliminating static reports and facilitate deeper dives with customisable views and varying levels of granularity.

Anti-Patterns

• Overcomplexity: Loading the dashboard with too many features or options, making it cumbersome and confusing for the user.
• Performance Issues: When not optimised, dynamic dashboards can become slow, especially when handling large datasets or complex queries.
• Lack of Training: Failing to provide users with adequate training or guidance on how to utilise the dashboard effectively.
• Inaccurate Data Representations: Dynamic adjustments might lead to misrepresentations if not properly configured, leading to potential misinterpretations.
• Ignoring Mobile Optimisation: Not optimising for mobile devices can reduce the accessibility and utility of the dashboard for users on-the-go.
