The basic idea behind such a layout is that, it provides an optimal viewing experience across all devices and browsers with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling.<\/p>\r\n<p>Fitbit\u2019s responsive dashboard layout renders equally well across all devices and browsers.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3971\" title=\"Fitbit's Responsive Dashboard\" alt=\"Fitbit's Responsive Dashboard\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2013\/08\/Fitbit-responsive.jpg\" height=\"267\" width=\"599\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><em><!--more-->Image credit: fitbit.com<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_of_sparklines_and_other_word-sized_charts\"><\/span>Use of sparklines and other word-sized charts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Sparklines, a brainchild of Edward Tufte, are &#8220;data-intense, design-simple, word-sized graphics&#8221; that provide a quick sense of historical context to enrich the meaning of the measure. Sparklines take up less space and saves you from the limited dashboard real estate dilemma. Yet, they are a powerful construct to disseminate instant information.<\/p>\r\n<p>Google Analytics uses sparklines to summarize the variation in metrics like Visits, Pageviews, Avg. Visit Duration, etc. Users get an overall picture in a single screen and have the option to drill down for more details.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3973\" title=\"Google Analytics Dashboard using Sparklines\" alt=\"Google Analytics Dashboard using Sparklines\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2013\/08\/Google-Analytics-spark-line1.jpg\" height=\"305\" width=\"616\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><em>Image credit: google.com\/analytics<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>SproutSocial uses color coded sparklines to visualize the variation in metrics like New Twitter Followers, New Facebook Fans, Incoming Messages, etc.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3975\" title=\"SproutSocial Dashboard using Sparkline\" alt=\"SproutSocial Dashboard using Sparkline\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2013\/08\/SproutSocial-spark-line2.jpg\" height=\"285\" width=\"458\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><em>Image credit: sproutsocial.com<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newer_ways_of_adding_context_to_data\"><\/span>Newer ways of adding context to data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not only are dashboards using sparkcharts but also employing multiple other ways to provide context and relevancy to its users.
