A dashboard is an interactive application that merges, combines, and clearly visualizes data from different data sources. The data can come from different sources and is combined together. Possible data sources include Excel or CSV files, reports from ERP or CRM systems, requests from data warehouses, or freely available machine-readable data from the Internet. Dashboards are made up of individual graphic components (for example, business graphics, tables, maps, etc.), which obtain their data from data feeds and display it. The individual display components can be linked to one another so that the results displayed can be interactively filtered and therefore intuitively analyzed.
