The goal of good dashboard design is to provide a single actionable insight, not multiple. Achieving good dashboard design requires clarity: about your business audience; about the business function and about how the layout helps bring about insights.
But it’s one thing to read about effective design theory and another to put it into practice. Working directly in Tableau, this webinar recording demonstrates Tableau design principles and best practices. We show you tangible instances of the good, the bad…and the downright ugly.
After viewing this on-demand webinar, you will
- Understand how aspects like text, color, font size and page placement can help…or hinder…your audience
- Choose better approaches for creating user interfaces
- Have solid understanding of what dashboards work best for your goals
- Know what things to (almost) never do
