How to build Analytics & Reporting Dashboards step by step
- Plan before building. Ask the AI builder for a written plan: every screen, the database tables, who logs in, and outside services. Approve it first.
- Build the foundation. Main screens, navigation and database tables, mobile-first.
- Build: Connections to data sources. Connect it to what exists, validate input on the server, and test it.
- Build: Cleaning and totaling the data. Connect it to what exists, validate input on the server, and test it.
- Build: Charts and KPI tiles. Connect it to what exists, validate input on the server, and test it.
- Build: Filters such as date range. Connect it to what exists, validate input on the server, and test it.
- Build: Scheduled or exported reports. Connect it to what exists, validate input on the server, and test it.
- Lock it down. Logins, server-side permissions, validation and rate limits. No secret keys in page code.
- Polish and launch. Speed, a 404 page, policies, backups, HTTPS and a rollback plan.
