After looking at this Mockup and Wireframe Application from the makers of InfoCaptor, and “If you wondered what took so long to have a prototyping tool for dashboards” then we exactly share your sentiment.
So if you don’t want to wait any further jump ahead and join the Beta invitation for MockupTiger – The only mockup application specially for Dashboards and Business Intelligence. Build any kind of Mockups or Wireframes using vectorized widgets and icons.
My company was given a exclusive preview of the web beta and we were completely blown away. We actually used the beta to do some quick consulting prototypes for Dashboards. Our client for whom we were working to build a dashboard using OBIEE were intrigued but suffice it to say we could’nt reveal the details to them. Using MockupTiger we quickly hashed out 3 variations of our Sales dashboard. I think this is the way all BI consulting and development should be carried out. No more drawing boards, paper and pens.
It has superb gadgets for Charts, Gauges and also to build any kind of web application GUI.

This is a KPI Dashboard that has been put together to demonstrate the capabilities of a dashboarding application called Analyzer, which has been produced by Strategy Companion. These KPIs are mostly sales and finance based, and this dashboard makes use of a number of types of charts and graphs.
A scorecard is located at the upper left corner of the dashboard, which displays Finance KPIs. One of the more unique features of this chart is the inclusion of an ‘Importance’ column. This allows users to assign a given level of importance to each entry on this chart, working on a scale of 1 to 5. An attractive graphic based on stars makes this rating system both effective and easy to understand. This chart can of course be filtered according to requirements.
A strategy map is included on the upper right hand side of the dashboard. This is an unusual chart, and does not seem like a necessary addition to this dashboard. It does not provide any new data, and the information contained within it could easily provided to workers in another format. There is an attractive map of the United States positioned in the lower region of the dashboard, but this map chart can be filtered by country. Each state can be examined for Reseller Sales figures, and the chart is also colour-coded to reflect the data. There is also a table providing Reseller Analysis by State, which gives a good visual overview of the figures involved.
This dashboard was apparently put together in twenty minutes, which is impressive in that it looks very professional and attractive. However there is a distinct lack of thought in this dashboard. Some of the charts are irrelevant, and there is a strong reliance on tables.

How to Create Static Dashboard?
Ever wondered how you can simply punch some data
and create beautiful dashboards?
What is a static Dashboard?
There are two kinds of Dashboard update mechanism. One which pulls raw information from your database and shows them on your dashboard.
We will call them dynamic dashboards because when
your data changes, these dashboards will update the figures.

A dashboard where you build the charts first and then punch data inside the charts. Later when you have new updates, you come back and edit the data directly. You can use these kind of simple dashboards without any technical knowledge.
