Dashboard
a visual display of the most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives, consolidated on a single screen so it can be monitored and understood at a glance
Why This Is a Definition
This is a precise, structured definition that establishes both the genus (visual display) and differentia (most important information, consolidated on single screen, monitored at a glance) of what constitutes a dashboard. It directly quotes Stephen Few's definition and explains the three key constraints that distinguish dashboards from other information systems.
