Use the Prompt

Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an interactive frontend prototype using the existing project stack and explicitly labeled demo data for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Analytics Overview Dashboard.

Required content and structure

Present a primary metric, date range, comparison period and supporting breakdowns.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: warm white, ink text and restrained mint selected states; generous spacing and simple controls. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Define each metric's unit, denominator, aggregation and date range. Prepare comparison-period values and explicit missing-data cases before choosing charts.

Layout and behavior

Give the primary metric a clear place, then explain changes with relevant breakdowns. Keep the active period and comparison basis close to the values they affect.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Keep units, denominators and missing data visible.
  • Change periods and test a zero denominator, missing day and negative change.
  • Empty data must not render as zero, and percentage changes must use the stated calculation.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Analytics Overview Dashboard. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Present a primary metric, date range, comparison period and supporting breakdowns. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Give the primary metric a clear place, then explain changes with relevant breakdowns. Keep the active period and comparison basis close to the values they affect.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your working project. Start with the core task: Present a primary metric, date range, comparison period and supporting breakdowns. Keep units, denominators and missing data visible. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write an Analytics Overview Dashboard Design Prompt

Use this analytics overview dashboard design prompt to present a primary metric, date range, comparison period and supporting breakdowns.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Define the Metric Before the Chart

An analytics overview needs a question the main number can answer.

AI-generated visual concept for analytics overview dashboard
Analytics Overview Dashboard — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

A percentage without its denominator and comparison window cannot tell the reader whether a change matters. Give the primary metric a clear place, then explain changes with relevant breakdowns. Keep the active period and comparison basis close to the values they affect.

From the Prompt

Give the primary metric a clear place, then explain changes with relevant breakdowns.

Make It Your Own

Lead with [METRIC] in [UNIT] for [PERIOD]. Place [COMPARISON_PERIOD] alongside it and break the result down by [SEGMENT]. Label missing observations rather than drawing a continuous trend through them.

Prepare the Analytics Overview Dashboard Content

A prominent total and line chart lead into three smaller metrics. Prepare each metric definition, comparison period and unit so the visual hierarchy does not hide differing meanings.

Primary total and supporting metrics in the Analytics Overview Dashboard reference
Primary total and supporting metrics.

Define each metric's unit, denominator, aggregation and date range. Prepare comparison-period values and explicit missing-data cases before choosing charts.

From the Prompt

Present a primary metric, date range, comparison period and supporting breakdowns.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this analytics overview dashboard. Define each metric's unit, denominator, aggregation and date range. Prepare comparison-period values and explicit missing-data cases before choosing charts. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Test the Comparison

The lower row presents a donut, ranked bars and activity list as different views of the data. Check that filters update all three consistently and that color is not the only category label.

Category, location and recent activity in the Analytics Overview Dashboard reference
Category, location and recent activity.

Switch to a period with incomplete data. The dashboard should retain the metric definition, explain the missing portion and avoid presenting an unequal comparison as growth. Change periods and test a zero denominator, missing day and negative change. Empty data must not render as zero, and percentage changes must use the stated calculation.

From the Prompt

Keep units, denominators and missing data visible.

Make It Your Own

Review the analytics overview dashboard against this requirement: Keep units, denominators and missing data visible. Change periods and test a zero denominator, missing day and negative change. Empty data must not render as zero, and percentage changes must use the stated calculation. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Analytics Overview Dashboard Result

A convincing screen is not a working backend. Test validation, permissions, persistence and failure behavior separately before connecting real data.

  • Change periods and test a zero denominator, missing day and negative change. Empty data must not render as zero, and percentage changes must use the stated calculation.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current analytics overview dashboard. Change periods and test a zero denominator, missing day and negative change. Empty data must not render as zero, and percentage changes must use the stated calculation. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
