How do you make a dashboard people can explore rather than just read?
Add slicers, drilldowns, sections and map extent filtering, so a viewer can narrow to their own district and follow a number down to the records behind it. Widgets can also be drafted from a plain description and then adjusted.
A static dashboard answers the questions its author happened to think of, and everybody else emails the author. Interactive controls hand that work to the reader, which matters most when one dashboard serves many districts or programmes and each of them wants the same view of different data.
How to do it
Add slicers so viewers can filter the whole dashboard to their area or programme.
Set up drilldowns so a summary figure leads to the detail behind it.
Group widgets into sections to keep a long dashboard readable.
Turn on map extent filtering, so panning the map filters the other widgets.
Try AI-assisted widget creation to draft a widget from a description, then refine it.
Check the result in dark mode and on a phone before sharing it.
