Developed ReDash, a tool to support partial reuse of dashboard presentation features.
Abstract
Presentation-oriented tasks including formatting and layout design are critical but often neglected aspects of dashboard authoring given their labor intensive nature. In this work, we follow a user-centered design approach to explore ways that partial reuse of pre-existing dashboards may support the dashboard design process. Based on collective feedback from 10 professional dashboard creators, we contribute: (a) findings from a formative study characterizing dashboard reuse needs and challenges; and (b) reflections and opportunities from a concept validation study with ReDash, a design probe for partial reuse of dashboard presentation features (style and layout) from multiple sources.
