Design and Integration

Because the analytics dashboard and the platform will be two distinct spaces it will be important to create a strong integration or link between the two technologies so that participants can easily access and understand it under one streamlined project. 

While the data analytics dashboard offers the capacity to look over a large amount of data over time, perhaps there might be value in breaking the widgets into individual segments or blocks for participants using the data repository or developing a hypothesis on the platform. This would facilitate their experience and even contribute to the initiative to have a more narrative approach to data. This idea is based on interacting with the following sample dashboard https://databasic.io/en/ 

In previous assemblies we discussed implementing the widgets in different components of the platform and our interest would be to integrate selected widgets in different spaces and components on the platform. 

However, the main target of the basic dashboard that differentiates it from previous proposals is the desire is to develop a stronger relationship between the platform and the visual analytics dashboard.The central aim is to explain different visualizations from the dashboard in a more user friendly and interactive way. Moreover, it would also serve a the objective of more narrative access to data along with encouraging future participants to interact with specific facets such as submitting a hypothesis and utilizing the data repository in the next steps after using the basic dashboard and create a stronger, more accessible synergy of the InDICEs technologies.
