Start building your dashboard
Create a mock-up of the dashboard. Based on the information
outlined in the business requirements, draw the layout on a
whiteboard. Use the flexibility of a whiteboard to design the user
interface. Things to consider include: the necessary tab structure;
layout of the panels, components and charts; control flow of the
application; drill downs
Consolidate the data from the two spreadsheets and create one
well organized and formatted spreadsheet to be used by SAP
Crystal Dashboard Design.
Use SAP Crystal Dashboard Design to realize your whiteboard
mockup. Drag and drop the components and charts using data
from your consolidated spreadsheet for a mockup design of the
dashboard.
Test and enhance your dashboard. Developing a dashboard is an
iterative process. Review the business requirements and
evaluation criteria and make sure the dashboard meets all of the
necessary requirements.
