Don’t Forget These Three Things When Creating a Dashboard!

Image for post

It’s easier than ever to dive into dashboarding, but are you doing it right?

Tableau, Power BI, and many other business intelligence tools allow you to visualize data without touching Excel or writing a single line of code.

While it’s great that more and more people can work with data, we should also remember that presenting it properly is as important as ever. Well-designed dashboards convey relevant information and allow users to make data-driven decisions. But how can you create a well-designed dashboard?

Let’s go through three overarching questions to bear in mind as you design, create, and deliver a dashboard.

Time Availability (Priority Level)

Asking this question can help you get started:

How much time does the user have to look at this dashboard?

It’s simple, but important nonetheless.

So why should we care specifically about the time constraint?

Understanding how much time someone has is important, because it can help you understand how people are going to use a dashboard. Even if someone has all the relevant knowledge to understand, filter, and modify a dashboard to answer a business question, it won’t matter if they don’t have the time to do so.

This doesn’t mean that you should sacrifice quality when creating a dashboard for someone with limited time. However, it could mean that you could, for example, customize the dashboard’s date filters in advance, so that the user can get the answer they need right away. Tailor your dashboard to the time someone has to go through it, and you’ll be well on your way to helping your organization make well-informed decisions.

In most cases, you should build your dashboard to be as specific or general as what your user explicitly wants. However, there may be times when you understand the data more so than the user. Because of this, you may believe that to truly make a data-driven decision, you have to include more data, even if the user doesn’t have the time to go through it. This may be when a conversation between you and the user is necessary, so that you can emphasize that they need to prioritize this problem a bit more.

Purpose

It would be too easy to say that you can generalize how much time someone has based on their position in the organization. For instance, a busy CEO may want to understand why a specific region is underperforming and what the potential solutions are. In this case, she could benefit from a detailed presentation-styled dashboard (like an interactive story on Tableau) to explore the situation, a more common high-level executive style report.

This brings us to our second question:

What will the dashboard be used for?

Another way of putting this question is “**what decisions will this dashboard help an end-user make?” **When you’re looking to help the finance team review quarterly expenses or give an executive an overview of the new product’s digital marketing campaign performance, you’ll want to create a dashboard that gives clear-cut answers. This means that you should include only the visualizations and KPIs that make it easy for the end-user to find the answer. If possible, you should also pre-set filters to show only the relevant data needed for each time they need to use the dashboard.

Creating an audio post

The only thing to keep in mind while dealing with audio posts is to make sure that you use the external_url parameter or data. You cannot use both at the same time. * caption - a string, the caption for your post * external_url - a string, the url of the site that hosts the audio file * data - a string, the filepath of the audio file you want to upload to Tumblr

You cannot use the embed and data parameters at the same time. * caption - a string, the caption for your post * embed - a string, the HTML embed code for the video * data - a string, the path of the file you want to upload

Editing a post

Updating a post requires you knowing what type a post you're updating. You'll be able to supply to the post any of the options given above for updates.

client.edit_post(blogName, id=post_id, type="text", title="Updated")
client.edit_post(blogName, id=post_id, type="photo", data="/Users/johnb/mega/awesome.jpg")

Reblogging a Post

Reblogging a post just requires knowing the post id and the reblog key, which is supplied in the JSON of any post object.

client.reblog(blogName, id=125356, reblog_key="reblog_key")

Deleting a post

Deleting just requires that you own the post and have the post id

client.delete_post(blogName, 123456) # Deletes your post :(

A note on tags: When passing tags, as params, please pass them as a list (not a comma-separated string):

client.create_text(blogName, tags=['hello', 'world'], ...)

Getting notes for a post

In order to get the notes for a post, you need to have the post id and the blog that it is on.

data = client.notes(blogName, id='123456')

The results include a timestamp you can use to make future calls.

data = client.notes(blogName, id='123456', before_timestamp=data["_links"]["next"]["query_params"]["before_timestamp"])

Tagged Methods

# get posts with a given tag
client.tagged(tag, **params)

Using the interactive console

This client comes with a nice interactive console to run you through the OAuth process, grab your tokens (and store them for future use).

You'll need pyyaml installed to run it, but then it's just:

$ python interactive-console.py

and away you go! Tokens are stored in ~/.tumblr and are also shared by other Tumblr API clients like the Ruby client.

Running tests

The tests (and coverage reports) are run with nose, like this:

python setup.py test
