Organized
Define the layout logically, prioritize the content in order. In most cases, in order to emphasize the common-used analysis thoughts, you should organize the information from top to bottom and from left to right, or use processive interactions. To sum up, put the summary first, then focus on filters, and finally provide details whenever the user needs.
Focused
Put the most important charts and the key scorecards on the top or upper part the page.
Accurate
Keep data accuracy, clarity and completeness.
1. Use the correct types of chart.
2. Explain data definition when necessary.
When the data is highly summarized, a chart with the detail number(s) is more straight-forward than a chart alone.
Try to highlight the primary data on first one screen, and limit the sum of modules into 5-9, avoiding information overload.
Make good use of filtering capability, let users observe the overview, and check the detailed data at the same time. Therefore, users can explore quickly whenever they have questions.

### Design Suggestions
#### Connect Analysis Steps
- Figure out users’ roles and aims, and choose the categories of template accordingly. Different business roles pay attention to different key data. There are two common-used types of indicators: high-level dashboard data, and detailed information.
- Decision-makers can select templates which describe the results;
- Operators can choose templates which provide more analysis capabilities and detailed information.
- Confirm the priority of the key indicators, and then define the page layouts accordingly. Put the most important data on the most outstanding positions.
- Please remember, you can connect the user interfaces through interactive modes, telling your own stories.
1. One card, one topic.
2. Place closely-related datasets on one card, and use split lines to break it into different areas.
#### Use Suitable Charts
After designing the draft layout, select related visualization charts based on how summarized or detailed the data is. Usually scorecards and ranking lists are used for information summaries, tables and texts express details, and charts are between the two categories.
