Reducing Filter Complexity
Dashboard Design — Product Design
How do filters change the way we consume our data? (Image Source)
TLDR —
It’s a tale as old as time. A dashboard initially created for a few specific use cases has ballooned into several pages, each with their own filters, sub-filters and more (😱!). As we rapidly approach sheer filter chaos, some stakeholders want even more filters, as well as filter consistency across pages. How might we design a solution that achieves filter parity across pages, reduces the space taken up by filters on a given page, and remains flexible for future filters?
My Role
