Pretty Dashboard

Pretty Dashboard is a software tool which can be used in order to create several types of dashboards, containing important data.

The installation process is uneventful and after you are done with it, you are met with a plain interface, which only encompasses a menu bar, a few shortcut buttons and a panel where to display projects. Aside from that, all user categories can find their way around it, be they experienced or not.

It is possible to create grids, gauges, pie, line or bar charts, OLAP (online analytical processing) cubes, text and filters. Each and every one of these can be created by inputting a caption, description, databases and variables.

An unlimited number of databases can be created, by uploading a file or by providing its location parameters. This software program supports AbsoluteDatabase, ADO, BDE, Firebird, MSSQL, Oracle, MySQL, SQLite, TXT and XML files, and the list goes on.

Variables require you to provide its name and label, select type (string, integer, float, date, time), as well as input the default, result and allowed values.

Logs can be displayed in a new window and cleared, while you can save your projects to the hard drive as PDASH files, as well as print them, or export specified pages to a PDF or JPG format.

Comprehensive and quite well-organized Help contents can be accessed, while the system’s performance will not be hampered, as CPU and memory usage is minimal.

To conclude, Pretty Dashboard is an efficient piece of software, dedicated to people interested in creating dashboards packed with information. Response time is good, the environment is intuitive, and there are sufficient options to keep you occupied for a while.
