One of the important new features that we’re adding to StatsMix is easily customizable dashboards. That’s a loaded sentence so let me break it down.
Easy
Although modern web services are making things easier by the day, it’s still a time consuming process to assemble a quality dashboard view of your important metrics. One of our guiding principals for this next release has been to make the process of assembling a dashboard as quick and easy as possible.
Customizable
StatsMix wants you to be able to do what we say — mix your stats. Only you know what your important metrics are so you should be able to view them the way you want.
Dashboards
Yes, that’s plural! We’re introducing the ability to create as many dashboard views as you want. Slice and dice your data with different modules (we’re calling them “widgets”) and a custom time frame so you can find the story in your metrics.
We’ve created a simple drag-and-drop interface that allows you to visually build a custom dashboard and start seeing your data in minutes. You’ll be able to choose from eight initial widgets that include graphs, sparklines and simple text. Simply drag them onto your dashboard and you’ll be prompted to configure them with a name and the service or services that you want to see. Then you’ll be able to arrange them in any order you like.
Under the hood everything is running on jQuery and jQuery UI which is a fantastic library for fast and stable front-end development.
We’re super excited to get this release out and see how its put to use!
