Question: Dashboard in the business intelligence
Answer: I would like to know the exact definition of the term Dashboard. As of late there has been a great deal of confusion on the overuse of this term in my workspace. I was under the impression that this term referred to analytical graphs that were designed to mimic speedometer displays like a dashboard in a car. Lately, it seems that people are using this term to apply to any form of analytic graph and in one case I have even seen this term used for a power point presentation that contained no graphs on the importance of Safety. Can anyone provide me with a sound and idiot proof answer to what exactly defines a Dashboard in the business intelligence or business analysis framework? |

RE: Dashboard in the business intelligence

| Dashboard is a user interface that organizes and presents information in a way that is easy to read. In regards to Business intelligence dashboard is a reporting tool that consolidates aggregates and arranges measurements, metrics (measurements compared to a goal) and sometimes scorecards on a single screen so information can be monitored at a glance.
