Data Visualization

Data visualizations are most often consumed on dashboards, but we do have some cases where a chart can be added to a stand alone view to enhance the user experience for that view. Below is our standard data visualization widget structure.

1. Title

   Titles are required and should be descriptive but short.

2. Short Description

   Any time we can add additional context to a visualization we should do so. However, we realize this is not always necessary or available. So for that reason, short desciptions are optional but highly encouraged.

3. Context Menu

   Like many of our widgets our data visualization widget comes with an optional context menu. This menu is a dropdown button that can give the user access to additional actions such as, exporting or deleting or modifying the widget data.

4. Visualization Area

   Below the title, short description and context menu is where we add the visualization. This ensures that on any device size the title comes before the visualization. A visualization could be a graph, table or diagram.
