Chapter 2, “Showcase of Xcelsius 2008 Dashboards,” is like a wine tasting party. You’ll get a sampling of different kinds of dashboards and have a chance to think about what’s important for you and what might be interesting to pursue when you start building dashboards. In this chapter, I point out where you can find more about specific dashboards or dashboard features.

Chapter 14, “Other Dashboard Techniques and Practices,” addresses a variety of dashboard design solutions, including filled radar charts with alerts and avoiding occlusion with area chars. This chapter introduces a dashboard technique I call an “ABC” chart that flows two data sources into a combined chart. This chapter also addresses an interesting technique involving box plots.

While many of the steps may seem arbitrary, I can assure you that all the steps are purposeful. Unless you are armed for advance knowledge, or happen to know how I think, you may have a hard time figuring out what’s going on, even if the steps are carefully and thoroughly documented. |

If all goes well, when you launch Xcelsius 2008, you should end up with a screen like the one shown in Figure 1.3. The environment where you create dashboards is known as the Xcelsius workspace. The first time you start using Xcelsius, you see a Quick Start pane on the right side of the workspace. The Quick Start pane is kind of like training wheels you might have with your first bicycle. If the Quick Start pane is closed, you can find it in the Xcelsius Help menu.

Some of the favorite Xcelsius features among many dashboard users are gauges and dials. There is also a community of dashboard users who look at the very same gauges and dials with disdain because they quickly gobble up valuable screen real estate. It is true that they can consume a significant portion of your screen, but there is no need for this to be problematic. There are things you can do to from an interface design perspective to ameliorate such concerns. This chapter explores a number of strategies. Before embarking on this mission, though, I want to introduce you to the feature sets of these components.
