Dashboard Screenshots published on May 13, 2006. I found this French dashboard screenshot, but all I have is an image of one dashboard page and no accompanying context. It looks to be a dashboard that monitors utilization rates of electricity and gas among EU nations, but I'm not sure of the point of the screen. Can a French-speaking Dashboard Spy please parse this and provide some insight? Thanks.
Update from a Dashboard Spy with a French accent:
"It’s about the theoretical and actual openness of the electricity and gas markets per country in the EU.
in the EU, you are supposed to have the same choice of utility supplier as you are supposed to have on your DSL in the US.
The first column on this dashboard is the theoretical openness of the market - whether a customer can change supplier of their utility.
The second column is the % of large customers who have actually changed. “moins” is “less than”. "

Dashboard Type: This enterprise dashboard would go under the main category of Process/Activity Monitoring Dashboard and sub-category of Utility/Electrical Grid Monitoring Dashboard if we follow the dashboard classification system used in the book, Enterprise Dashboards: Design and Best Practices for IT. As stated by the author, Malik, there are six major categories of enterprise dashboards, with each having varying numbers of sub-categories. The main categories are: Enterprise Performance Dashboards, Divisional Dashboards, Process/Activity Monitoring Dashboards, Custom Applications Dashboards, Customer Dashboards and Vendor Dashboards. For an explanation of the categories, please see the dashboard screenshots page.
So what or who is The Dashboard Spy? As his about page states, The Dashboard Spy is just a guy interested in the design of enterprise dashboards. He could not find any executive dashboard design source books (or even screenshots of real business dashboards) and so set about creating his own. Finally convinced to post his extensive collection of dashboard screenshots online, he was amazed to find how popular it has become. If you have a nice screenshot of a digital dashboard, balanced scorecard, or any business intelligence graphic to share, please send an email to info _at_ dashboardspy.com. Also check out The Dashboard Spy's favorite books.
Keep up on the latest products and services for digital dashboards. A wide knowledge of the landscape is critical when it comes to the technology and vendor selection phase of your executive dashboard project.
