3 Overview

4 Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS Product Overview Monitor assets, events, or activities for at-a-glance decision making Provides key insights on a single screen Configurable user experience, no programming required! Web browser-based app Integrated with ArcGIS Online

5 Operations Dashboard Overview Included within ArcGIS Online organization New Dashboard Item type - Author and view in web browser Many ready-to-use data visualizations Re-engineered and redesigned app

6 Key Usage Patterns Monitor and manage operations/assets IoT (e.g., sensor feeds) Provide common operational picture Event management Situational awareness, emergency management Visualize assets, personnel, activities, weather Executive summaries Visualize and compare business data Reporting dashboard

7 Dashboards Can be broadly categorized into 2 general types 1. Interactive End user interacts with the dashboard to obtain more info Can apply actions and selectors for an interactive UE E.g., Click one element, affects changes in other element(s) 2. Unattended display Designed to provide updates, no interactivity with end user Typically consume data sources that update, elements would reflect updates E.g., Real-time data, IoT

8 Getting Started with Operations Dashboard Several ways to open the app 1. App Launcher 2. Map Viewer Share > Create A New Web App > Operations Dashboard 3. Content page Create > App > Using Operations Dashboard 4. Web map item page Create Web App > Using Operations Dashboard

9 Dashboard Home Page Create and manage dashboard items View and edit Search and sort dashboards in your organization

10 Operations Dashboards The New Dashboard

11 Authoring Dashboards

12 Dashboard Item Brings data together in a single display Determines how content is displayed in app Composed of elements Map, list, chart, etc. Works with many ArcGIS data sources Online content and web services Field collection data Sensor data, social media, GPS locations, etc. Real-time data

13 Adding Elements to a Dashboard 1. Select element Ex: Adding a serial chart 2. Configure properties Appearance Data source and formatting Will vary depending on the element type 3. Place in dashboard layout

14 Dashboard Elements Header Left Panel Map and Map Legend Serial Chart Pie Chart Indicator Gauge List Details Rich Text

15 Data Options For Serial Chart and Pie Chart elements Choosing categories option 1. Grouped Values 2. Features 3. Fields

16 Categories Option 1 Grouped Values Display unique values in a field

17 Categories Option 2 Features Display all records in a field Then choose series field

18 Categories Option 3 Fields Used for comparison of data in multiple fields (same units) Demographic data, different measurements

19 Layout options Elements can be positioned in any combination in a dashboard Exceptions: Header and Left Panel Elements can be stacked or grouped Group elements Aggregate into a single unit Stack elements Position elements in same location, tab to switch between them Hold Shift key to enable grouping

20 Operations Dashboards Adding & Configuring Elements

21 Interactive Dashboards

22 Dashboard Interactivity Enables deeper dive with dashboard data Dashboard elements can be associated with one another Interact with one element, triggers a response in another element(s) Element 1 event Element 2 Action Source Element Target element E.g., select an item in a list, the map display zooms to the feature Many different interactions possible, support different workflows

23 Interactivity 2 concepts 1. Action When an event is applied to a source element, a target element responds Possible actions: Filter, Flash, Pan, Zoom, and Set spatial extent 2. Selector User interface (UI) control on the Header or Left Panel that triggers an action

24 Selector Types Selector UI controls that trigger an action 3 types 1. Category Its values can be from list of values, features, or summary statistics 2. Numeric It can be a fixed value or a numeric range 3. Date It can show a list of pre-defined values, date/time picker (single value or range)

25 Configuring Interactivity Workflow 1. Hover over element > Configure Actions 2. Add Action 3. Add target element 4. Set additional properties, if required

26 Operations Dashboards Actions & Selectors

27 Designing Dashboard Apps Consider the audience for the information product Dashboard should help enable at-a-glance decision making Interactive or unattended display Design and implement visualizations cautiously Avoid kitchen sink approach Build specific, focused apps Share with others

28 Road Ahead (Not Final, may change) Selections on charts to drive actions Embedded content element Map element Feature search and geocoding Scale bar Improve UE: Configure actions in map element configuration panel Support for proxy login to access premium content when deploying public dashboard apps More out of the box icons that can also be used in the Header element
