Dashboard Layout Must Follow the Design Principles:

Types of Dashboard 

• Strategic: A dashboard focused on monitoring long-term company strategies by analyzing and benchmarking a wide range of critical trend-based information.
• Operational: A business intelligence tool that exists to monitor, measure and manage processes or operations with a shorter or more immediate time scale.
• Analytical: These particular dashboards contain large streams of comprehensive data that allow analysts to drill down and extract insights to help the company to progress at an executive level.
• Tactical: These information-rich dashboards are best suited to mid-management and help in formulating growth strategies based on trends, strengths, and weaknesses across departments,

Hierarchy

• Size: big
• Shape: clarity
• Placement
• Colour: What stands out is read

Proximity

• Grouping: Says what belong together
• Spacing: Enough so it doesn’t look cluttered, but not too much

Contrast

• Colour: To make something stand out
• Size: Big to make something stand out
• Weight: Bold to make something stand out
• Texture

Alignment

• All text should be left-aligned is best practice
• All Klips should be in line with each other

Repetition

• Reuse of ideas and elements to create a theme
