Abstract
Dashboards use a suite of visual analytics, such as various forms of graphs (e.g., line graphs,
histograms, bar charts, pie charts), maps, and infographics (e.g., gauges, traffic lights, meters,
arrows) to display and communicate time series and spatial data. 1 Most contemporary
dashboards are dynamic (i.e., being updated as data, including real-time data, are released) and
interactive (e.g., allowing selecting, filtering, and querying data; zooming in or out, panning, and
overlaying; changing type of visualization).2 The power and utility of dashboards is that they act
as effective cognitive tools for making sense of and tracking voluminous, varied, and quickly
transitioning data, enabling users to examine emerging patterns and trends and make evidence-
informed decisions and policy responses.3,4 Consequently, dashboards have become common
across sectors as a means to communicate, monitor, track, analyze, and act on large volumes of
dynamic data.
