A simple way to tell people what your communication is about at a glance.

The dashboard of your car gives you essential information for driving. For me this means my speed, how much fuel/battery I have left, and which lights are on.

You can use a dashboard design pattern on any document. Its home genre is online shopping and catalogues, where you want to see key facts about all your options in one place.

You can put a summary dashboard at the top of customer letters, on home pages, covers of reports. Anywhere where busy readers need to see the relevance of your message at a glance.

How this helps
Dashboards are a quick fix and a quick win, because they are an add-on to your document.
