    <div>
      <h4>Organized</h4>
      <p>Define the layout logically, prioritize the content in order. In most cases, in order to emphasize the common-used analysis thoughts, you should organize the information from top to bottom and from left to right, or use progressive interactions. To sum up, put the summary first, then focus on filters, and finally provide details whenever the user needs.</p>

When the data is highly summarized, a chart with the detail number(s) is more straight-forward than a chart alone.

### Design Suggestions

#### Connect Analysis Steps

- Figure out users’ roles and aims, and choose the categories of template accordingly. Different business roles pay attention to different key data. There are two common-used types of indicators: high-level dashboard data, and detailed information.
  - Decision-makers can select templates which describe the results;
  - Operators can choose templates which provide more analysis capabilities and detailed information.
- Confirm the priority of the key indicators, and then define the page layouts accordingly. Put the most important data on the most outstanding positions.
- Please remember, you can connect the user interfaces through interactive modes, telling your own stories.

After designing the draft layout, select related visualization charts based on how summarized or detailed the data is. Usually scorecards and ranking lists are used for information summaries, tables and texts express details, and charts are between the two categories.

#### Color Palette
