Description
Summary:The dashboard displayed the organization’s important information on a single screen which enables them to monitor their performance and make necessary decisions. However, the biggest issue that a dashboard has is it does not have specific design guideline for the developer to follow. Addressing this issue, this study is executed to find a suitable dashboard design guideline and use it to design a dashboard for the academicians from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The purpose of this study is to identify dashboard design guideline for UTM APRPD, visualization features to be included in the UTM APRPD, and to validate the dashboard design guideline identified. UTM Academician Personal Research and Publication Dashboard (UTM APRPD) is a dashboard designed to monitor and analyze UTM academician’s individual performance in publication and research grant performance. This study is using the Research and Development Information System (RADIS) as its case study. The dashboard design guideline used to design the UTM APRPD was validated by analyzing the result obtained from the interview session with the respondents. In contrast to the RADIS, UTM APRPD interface design was improved to visually aid the academicians in monitoring their performance. The academicians agree that the dashboard was designed fine and are relevant to be used. Thus, the dashboard design guidelines identified in this study can be used to design the UTM APRPD.
