What is a dashboard?



         
 A dashboard is the graphical representation of the current status (snapshot) and the historical trend of an organisation’s historical performance which consists of key indicators to enable the instantaneous and informed decisions to be made at the point of glance. This is very easy to read and contains only single page that represent the whole information in a single snapshot and makes it the real-time user interface. This makes the information simple and self-explanatory to understand by just looking at the dashboards. There are three main types of dashboards that dominate the business market in this scenario. These are as follows:

·         Standalone software applications
·         Web-browser based applications
·         Desktop applications

Specialized dashboards can track all the type of functions such as Human resource, Marketing, Information Technology, Project Management, Customer Relationship Management and many more departmental dashboards. (wikipedia, 2012)
