Where can we use this?
Oftentimes I come across requests from our clients to build necessary KPIs on the Dashboard, depicting the Sales-Profit-Revenue relationship across different products and customers, to see how they are performing as a business. But delivering a dashboard showing only KPI numbers can make it look a bit untidy and won’t attract their direct attention.
How can we further make the Dashboard look attractive and make it depict the entire story that numbers can’t directly show you? For such scenarios, we can make use of Donut Indicators or Gauge charts. These are useful to monitor product performance against given parameters, compare Sales/Profit values against a certain threshold, etc.
