The “dashboard” is often accessible by a web browser and is usually linked to regularly updating data sources.[1][3] Dashboards are often interactive and facilitate users to explore the data themselves.[1][3]
Well known dashboards include Google Analytics dashboards, used on 55% of all websites,[5] which show activity on a website; such as visits, entry pages, bounce rate and traffic sources.
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 brought other dashboards to the fore, with the Johns Hopkins coronavirus tracker[1][6] and the UK government coronavirus tracker[7] being good examples. In the United States, the governments of all 50 states, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, employed dashboards on their websites to communicate COVID-19 information with the public.[3]
The term dashboard originates from the automobile dashboard where drivers monitor the major functions at a glance via the instrument panel.
