Introduction
It’s a pleasure to be back for my third year on the Workout Wednesday team. This week, I wanted to create a challenge that incorporates one of the things that will elevate many visualizations, which is seamless and intuitive interactivty. A good user experience should, by design, appear simple but often involves careful consideration behind the scenes.
This challenge brings to you a somewhat simplified potential use case that could be incorporated into a business dashboard. The beauty of the challenge is in the detail. Enjoy!
Requirements
- Dashboard Size: 1000 x 800px
- 1 Dashboard only
- Create a Map that shows one State at a time and plots each City, with their names labelled. There should be a Drop-Down menu to allow the user to select a State.
- Allow the user to select a City and create a mini-map which highlights the selected City using Size and Colour (##c30000)
- Create a Table which shows sales information for the selected City only. The Table should contain the following fields, including a Sub-Total for each Order ID:
-
- Customer Name
- Order ID
- Product Name
- Unit Price
- Quantity
- Sales
-
- Bringing it all together: The end user should be able to select a City on the main map to bring up a view that displays the mini-map and the Table, with a Title that reflects which City was selected. They should then have the option to close this view and return to the main map
- Match layout, tooltips and formatting
Dataset
