Addressed?(✘ or ✓) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Layout |
Filter function: Placement of filter function makes it appear as though it only applies to the coverage indicator |
Place Filter function on top of page: Place filter function at the top of the page (below page title) to convey that it applies to the entire dashboard. Also pin the filter / freeze pane if possible, so it is |

Layout |
Unpredictable Layout: Layout is currently not optimized for "Z-direction" user reading |
Make layout predictable: Start with summary table, point in time indicator graphic and then historical / disaggregated graph for ALL indicators. This helps adopt a "top down" approach for displaying the visuals. |

Layout / Storyboard |
PAV Provincial Dashboard Flow – Order in which the indicators appear – is it optimized to what the end user wants to see? |
PAV Provincial Dashboard Flow: Please confirm whether the storyboarding of the dashboard makes sense. Is this the order that the end user wants to see the information in? If not, how would you re-order the charts? Please see below for specifics |

|
Visualization |
Disaggregated charts with no "key takeaway" table: makes it difficult to glean any meaningful insights from noisy charts |
Include a summary table for each indicator group: Above the left and right charts for each indicator group, include summary tables with min/max or other notable summaries. Please see below for specifics |

|
Visualization |
Color use is not strategic: Different colors used for the same antigens, hard to visually gauge patterns |
Use same colors on all antigens: Use the same colors for each antigen on every indicator's graph/chart. E.g. in all charts corresponding to DPT, DPT will be in dark blue |
Y - ?? |
|
Visualization |
No anchor / benchmark on visualizations: It is hard to assess from the charts if performance is "good" or "bad" |
Add a benchmark / anchoring data point to charts: For coverage line chart, add a dotted line for "Target Coverage Rate"; For stock-out line chart, add a dotted line for "National Stock-out Average" etc. Please see below for specifics |

|
Visualization |
District charts in "national view" of dashboard are overwhelming: Seeing ALL the districts on one chart is overwhelming |
Grouping districts belong to a province: Is there a way to group the district level charts e.g. leave space between bars corresponding to a different provinces or add labels below the districts to communicate which province they belong to? |
Not sure – please comment |

Content |
Lack of data due to lag in uploads: Lots of blank space due to lack of data. |
Add the period view: Fix the period view of the dashboard to address this. Clay to play around with options discussed on 16th October call. |

Content |
Table placement and structure: When in National mode, the tables can get very unwieldly. The way tables are currently structured, you see provinces appear multiple times. This can be confusing |
Remove table from main view and add a link to tables below visualizations: Adding a link below the visualizations for each of the indicators (as shown in our layout mock-up) will help the user deep dive to the tables if needed. Suggestions for deep dive tables: |

Language of indicator titles: Currently some in Portuguese, some English. |
Standardize language of indicator titles: Change the ones in English to Portuguese: |

Dashboard Caption: No caption currently on use / context of dashboard |
Add Dashboard Caption: Add a caption to dashboard title to reinforce use case. |

Content |
Inconsistent use of descriptions for indicators: Not all indicators have a description to go with them E.g. Community Mobilization Indicator |
Add descriptions for all indicators: add descriptions for ALL groups of indicators – e.g. mobile brigades as well. Timoteo – Please provide desired content for all titles |

Section 3: TBD - Indicator Visualizations To be determined?
Please note: These are indicators that we current don't have data for, so it is unclear what the visualizations will look like. Timoteo – your input here would be helpful.
