In computer information systems, a dashboard is a type of graphical user interface which often provides at-a-glance views of data relevant to a particular objective or process through a combination of visualizations and summary information.[1][2][3][4] In other usage, "dashboard" is another name for "progress report" or "report" and is considered a form of data visualization.
The dashboard is often accessible by a web browser and is typically linked to regularly updating data sources.[1][3] Dashboards are often interactive and facilitate users to explore the data themselves, usually by clicking into elements to view more detailed information.[1][3]
The term dashboard originates from the automobile dashboard where drivers monitor the major functions at a glance via the instrument panel.
