dashboards design meet user or business requirement and what customization needed for future use.

Team needs to present their point of view about how business intelligence tools can contribute to effective
decision-making as well as the legal issues involved in exploiting user data for business intelligence. You
may need to research for specific examples of organizations that use BI tools to enhance or improve their

Here is the dashboard after my analysis :

Figure 1 Dashboard

 1. Dashboard description
The above dashboard includes 4 components: City, Sale, Category, Customer.

Figure 2 City Map

The State graph depicts the category earnings in the provinces using the size ratio of the circle (the larger
the circle, the higher the profit). It's also the dashboard's focus chart.

Figure 3 Category chart

About Category, it shows the profit of Category, it is shown then the price of profit earned

 Figure 4 Sale chart
About Sale shows the revenue and profit of each Category over each month, it is shown in the chart above.

Figure 5 Customer chart

The last chart is Customer, which displays the amount and money generated by the number of
things sold. The beauty of the chart is to create two parallel charts to compare and comprehend the
output and profit.

 2. Relationship
The following examples demonstrate the link between the graphs:

Figure 6 Evaluation board

This is a table that displays the color and round scale of the Bang chart, which displays the total profit.

Figure 7 Profit Dashboard

When we choose the low profit region with light green hue and the little circle on the State chart
taking 4,425 profit, the remaining three charts will reveal the profit, total income, and producer of
the company's Category. specified region. Because it is a low return area, it displays three charts;
all categories are included in the data, but the graph is slanted toward low returns and low overall
profits.

 Figure 8 Profit Dashboard
When we choose the high profit region with dark green hue and the largest circle on the Bang chart,
which accounts for 65,449 profits, the next three charts will reveal the profit, total earnings, and
profit producer. The selected area's category. Because it is the most profitable region, it displays
three charts with data from all Categories.

Figure 9 Filter table

To filter the information connected to the data source in this part, we simply need to filter the fields that
we want to display on the chart, such as display by date, area name, and product name. Products. We have
displayed it as follows:

Figure 10 Filter table (entered information)

I selected the Product Category of Electronics, the Area of Oceania, the Product of Keyboard, the City of
Brisbane, and the Date of 1/1/2015 - 31/12/2015. Finally, I received the console shown below.

3. Conclusion and future work
Conclusion table containing detailed information regarding each product's Category, Profit, and
Revenue. When you wish to filter information by Category, Region, Month, or Year, for example,
the dashboard is simple to use. It displays all of the information you require. You may, for
example, opt to have the chart indicate how much profit and revenue each region has.

There are various areas that may be studied in the future to increase the dashboard's functionality and
usefulness. They include adding new data sources, implementing machine learning algorithms to
deliver predictive insights, incorporating user feedback to improve user experience, and creating
several versions of the overview page. We will make an effort to make the interface more mobile-
friendly. Moreover, experimenting with novel visualization approaches and data presentation ways
might assist increase dashboard efficiency.
