Human mind is believed to have short-time memory and can’t store much information when bombarded with unusual pieces of data. The dashboard in above example has been designed in a way to overcome this limitation. The use of charts and dashboards here reduces dependency on short-term memory. It’s easier to remember ups and downs in sales through a simple line chart than remembering exact figures from table. Also, this dashboard uses drill down option while giving a summary of critical data on a single page making it easier to understand the presented information. But most of all, its simple! Which is an important principle both in business and real life. These three factors make the above dashboards a good example of design which keeps in mind user requirements and creates a perfect dashboard.
