The use of visualization to present information is not a new phenomenon. Simple forms of visualization have used in maps, scientific drawings, and data plots for over a thousand years. However, the recent emphasis on visualizations started after 1970 with releasing statistical and business intelligence (BI) software. In this new era, organizations have too much data with their work and prefer to use a fast technique to see what happen in their work. A dashboard is a type of graphical user interface, which often provides at-a-glance views of key performance indicators relevant to a particular objective or business process. In other usage, "dashboard" is another name for "progress report" or "report." There are several methods to design a dashboard. In this course, I use QlikView, which is BI software and can be downloaded via https://www.qlik.com/us/try-or-buy/download-qlikview. I show participants how they can construct dashboard-using QlikView. To do this, I use three data files including birth, death and marriage-divorce and show them how they can construct a simple dashboard. This simple dashboard is indeed an alternative of a report around 150 pages and this might be very amazing for participants.
