New Dashboard

[rahulrj]

1.I have introduced some new parameters on the dashboard. It shows speed,engine load and co2 emission indicator for the diesel based vehicles while for the gasoline cars, fuel consumption,engine load and co2 emission indicators are displayed

1. Also each parameter has a help icon besides it which shows the relevant information regrading that parameter like

   i> what does that parameter indicate? ii> what is the safe range for that parameter? iii> What happens if the value goes beyond the safe range?

@nuest what should i do regarding the safe range of values? It will vary for each type of vehicle like small vehicles, cars and trucks and also it will be different for diesel and gasoline cars. Maybe can we show a chart there?

[nuest]

Can you post a screenshot here? Or a link to your log, please?

Regarding the "range of values" > this is indeed something that depends on each vehicle. My suggestion right now would be to prepare 3-5 presets, such as "0-7", "0-9", "0-12", "0-15", "0-20" for fuel consumption, which the user can choose from.

What do you mean with "show a chart here"?

Here are the screenshots which also contains my app dashboard. http://blog.52north.org/2014/07/04/envirocar-ux-design-mid-term-blog-post/ So we will show the values depending on the fuel consumption?

That is an old blog post, I assumed you would have worked further on the dashboard by now.

Yes, I suggest we allow to select the range of the displays from a few presets. Please communicate with @matthesrieke and @cfarmer about the priority of this.

@rahul690973 Yes, presets are probably the best way to go here, as @nuest suggests. Basically, we'll have to look at a user's history to determine which range to select, with a moderate range as the default. Since we now (or soon will) have the infrastructure to grab a user's history from the server, this shouldn't be too hard. Having said that, I don't think this is an immediate priority for us right now (particularly now that we are at the end of the GSoC period). I'd prefer to have something stable with a fixed range, and add the 'dynamic' range options later. This is something that probably isn't too much work, but also won't significantly affect the user experience at this stage. What do you think @matthesrieke?

[matthesrieke]

I suggest not to spend too much time on this. I see the top priority at a nice User Profile view. So going for a fixed range in the first place is fine for me

For dashboard, i have created two layouts i.e dashboard_new and dashboard_try. We can use whichever feels good.

a new dashboard has already been integrated.
