This is because it directly impacts the user experience. With the average person accessing their information from several devices, it is crucially important to design interfaces that react and adapt to user behavior. In this case, that means enabling a smooth transitional display on a PC, phone, iPad, or tablet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Graphic designer Ethan Marcotte perfectly summarizes this idea when he suggests that \u201crather than tailoring disconnected designs to each of an ever-increasing number of web devices, we can treat them as facets of the same experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">With the mainstream adoption of smartphones, tablets, and plenty of other mobile devices, your users want information on the move. The result is an increased responsibility for designers to create responsive dashboards that adapt to any viewing medium. SproutSocial and Mint\u2019s dashboards are great examples of responsive dashboard layouts. They offer the same experience across all devices and browsers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_interactivity_help_engage_the_dashboard_viewers\"><\/span>How does interactivity help engage the dashboard viewers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18162 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/interactivity-to-engage-dashboard-viewers.jpg\" alt=\"use interactivity to engage your dashboard viewers\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2303\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/interactivity-to-engage-dashboard-viewers.jpg 1920w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/interactivity-to-engage-dashboard-viewers-250x300.jpg 250w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/interactivity-to-engage-dashboard-viewers-768x921.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/interactivity-to-engage-dashboard-viewers-854x1024.jpg 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">There was a time when we were pretty satisfied with the static dashboard design. We also considered the fixed selection of information from our apps. As technology has advanced, however, so have our expectations. Now, we demand that dashboards and other visualization components are interactive and respond directly to our needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">For instance, zooming in and zooming out is an essential interactive experience that we expect. It makes accessing our information quick and easy without changing views. Furthermore, slice and dice interactivities allow us to take our data analysis to a whole new level.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_role_of_trendlines_and_progress_bars_in_adding_context_to_data\"><\/span>What is the role of trendlines and progress bars in adding context to\u00a0data?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18163 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/trendlines-and-progress-bars.jpg\" alt=\"trendlines and progress bars increase add context\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/trendlines-and-progress-bars.jpg 1920w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/trendlines-and-progress-bars-300x200.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/trendlines-and-progress-bars-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/trendlines-and-progress-bars-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to the\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/resources\/whitepapers\/emerging-dashboard-design-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">10 Emerging Trends in Dashboard Design whitepaper<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, data put in the proper context helps users answer questions.

If, however, your dashboard also told you that it was up 25 percent on your last quarter, the data instantly becomes more meaningful. This is where features like trendlines and progress bars provide depth and context to otherwise one-dimensional information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Today\u2019s dashboards employ multiple methods, like Spark Charts, to provide their users with increased data context and relevance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_importance_of_real-time_updates_and_alerts_in_dashboard_visualizations\"><\/span>What is the importance of real-time updates and alerts in dashboard visualizations?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18164 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/real-time-updates-and-alerts.jpg\" alt=\"real-time-updates-and-alerts\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/real-time-updates-and-alerts.jpg 1920w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/real-time-updates-and-alerts-300x200.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/real-time-updates-and-alerts-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/real-time-updates-and-alerts-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>Technological developments in both in-stream and ad-hoc processing have made it easier to get real-time updates on your dashboard directly. However, real-time information is not essential for many tasks. For tasks like Web Traffic Monitoring using A\/B tests or Stock Ticker updates, however, real-time data can go a long way toward helping you back the right horse.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_an_impact_to_choosing_a_broader_color_palette_on_visualizations\"><\/span>Is there an impact to choosing a broader color palette on visualizations?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18165 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/broader-color-palette.jpg\" alt=\"broader-color-palette\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2304\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/broader-color-palette.jpg 1920w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/broader-color-palette-250x300.jpg 250w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/broader-color-palette-768x922.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/broader-color-palette-853x1024.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Traditionally, designers recommended using a maximum of two to three colors for dashboard visualizations. With the advent of modern design concepts like blending and opacity, that, however, has changed. Now designers focus on creating a combination of colors that promote a more pleasant user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Today\u2019s dashboards involve the skillful use of a broader color palette. On the one hand, we have dashboards that use shades of gray as their core color. On the other hand, there are dashboards with bold and uncommon color combinations. Somewhere in between are dashboards that use bright pastel colors against a muted background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Click below to discover how emerging trends in dashboard design can take your dashboard visualizations to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/resources\/whitepapers\/emerging-dashboard-design-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Download FusionCharts\u2019 \u201c10 Emerging Trends in Dashboard Design\u201d whitepaper and know more.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A comprehensive enterprise dashboard is by far the most popular way to express or visualize results or insights, with an increasing number of companies adopting data analytics as a business tool.
