Now that we have analyzed the taxi time series data, let’s put our analysis result on a dashboard and share it with others.
For this, let’s revisit the analyses we did:
Click on the Project bookmarks button in the navigation bar on the left.
You should now see a page with 3 bookmarks called Comparison Newark and JFK
, My weekend analysis
, and Last day fare change at JFK and Newark
.
Click on the VISUAL ANALYTICS button under Comparison Newark and JFK
.
You should again see the two maps focused on Newark and JFK.
Let’s put two widgets on the dashboard, the maps and average fare widgets:
Right-click on one of the maps and select Add as Widget.
Give the widget a title: Newark vs JFK Average Fare
Add a description (optional): Fares color coded from low purple to high red.
.
Choose a widget group.
Since this is the first widget we create, we also have to create a widget group.
Type Newark vs JFK
.
Press the CREATE button.
You should now see a notification in the lower right corner that the widget was created successfully.
Let’s add a second widget:
Click on the 3 dots (…) in the top right corner of one of the AVERAGE FARE widget in the DATA DISTRIBUTION panel.
Select Add as Widget.
Give the widget a title: Newark vs JFK Average Fare
Add a description (optional): Distribution of average fares.
.
Select the previously created widget group Newark vs JFK
.
Press the CREATE button.
Now click on Dashboard to open the newly populated dashboard. Note how the two widgets are present.
Let’s add a 3rd widget to provide more information to the dashboard:
Click on the ADD WIDGET button in the top right corner of the Dashboard page.
Provide a title: About
Provide content, this can be basic html: This dashboard is the result of my first taxi time series data analysis applying styling and filtering to gather insights.
You can leave the description empty.
Select the previously created widget group Newark vs JFK
.
Press the CREATE button.
The new widget is now added to the right. You can drag it, for example to the first place, using the drag handles left to the 'About' title.
Let’s now also add our trend analysis to the dashboard:
Click on Project bookmarks on the navigation bar.
Click on TREND ANALYSIS on the Last day fare change at JFK and Newark card.
Right-click on the 2nd (JFK) Local Trends card and select Add as Widget.
Provide a title: Last day fare change JFK
Provide a description: Shows change in average pickup taxi fare at JFK.
Choose our only widget group.
Do the same with the 3rd card (Newark) and use Last day fare change Newark
as title and Shows change in average pickup taxi fare at Newark.
as description.
Now go back to the dashboard by clicking on Dashboard on the navigation bar.
You created your first dashboard. You can always change the title and description of a widget by clicking on the pencil icon, or drag a widget around. Changing the contents of a widget can be done by clicking on a widget, changing the filters/styling/settings, and creating a new widget.
