Consistency

Here are some best practices to follow to improve consistency in dashboards:

  • Use labels in the same order if they're used in multiple places. For example, if using Inflow and Outflow, use them in the same order everywhere.

  • Ensure that all charts have titles.

  • Use a single, consistent typeface (for example, Oracle Sans) and no more than three sizes of type; one for titles, one for labels, and another for other content.
