Steps to Complete Before You Design a Dashboard

The SAS BI Dashboard designer has made dashboards easier than ever to create. However, you still need to think about how you want to design your dashboard before you use the dashboard designer.
  1. Determine what type of information the dashboard must convey.
  2. Choose the indicators that you want to display in the dashboard.
  3. Locate or define the necessary data sources.
The indicators that you choose determine the types of data that are required before you can build the dashboard. You might need to create new data sources, calculated fields, or summary tables.
