Data Analytics App Components/Design System
Role: Product Designer




FINAL DESIGN
I played a pivotal role in the development of an application geared towards facilitating data analytics for leads within a retail setting. This application specifically targeted the efficient storage and retrieval of data pertinent to lead management. Its primary objective was to furnish leads with a comprehensive dashboard, offering swift access to crucial information pertaining to the store's performance.

The application was strategically structured into two fundamental components: real-time data analytics and trending insights related to the sales floor. This segmentation aimed to empower leads with the capability to promptly assess the current state of affairs and discern the specific needs of each department within the store.

During the design phase, it became evident that the creation of a robust design system was imperative. This system was envisioned to ensure scalability by establishing a standardized set of design elements. This not only streamlined the development process but also facilitated the consistent presentation of information across various sections of the application.

I would like to highlight two key components within the application, each encompassing numerous variations. Recognizing that approximately 80% of the application's content revolved around tables and graphs, I made the decision to transform these elements into modular components. This approach not only enhanced the user interface's cohesiveness but also allowed for greater flexibility in accommodating diverse data representation needs.

In essence, the meticulous attention given to designing these components, coupled with the implementation of a scalable design system, significantly contributed to the overall efficacy and user-friendliness of the data analytics application. The end result was an intuitive tool that empowered leads to make informed decisions swiftly and effectively, thereby enhancing the overall operational efficiency of the retail establishment.






GRAPH COMPONENT
In the course of my research into diverse methodologies for presenting data through graphs and charts, it became evident that a multifaceted approach was essential. Different types of visualizations served specific purposes; for instance, a bar chart was instrumental in depicting units, while trend lines were indispensable for illustrating changes over time.

Navigating the intricacies of data representation posed a unique challenge, particularly in instances where both time and units needed to be conveyed within a single graph. Leveraging the capabilities of the newly introduced SwiftUI framework, our team seamlessly integrated SwiftGraph functionality to address this challenge head-on.

The outcome was the development of a dynamic graph component that encapsulated a spectrum of variations, encompassing horizontal and vertical bar charts, trend graphs, and a comprehensive timeline. The versatility of this single graph component became a cornerstone in providing leads with a holistic view of data, allowing them to discern patterns, correlations, and trends at a glance.

Each graph within the component was designed to be interactive, introducing an extra layer of functionality. Leads could tap on individual columns to unveil additional information, fostering a user-centric experience that empowered them to delve deeper into specific data points. This interactive feature not only enhanced the accessibility of information but also facilitated a more nuanced understanding of the intricate data sets at play.

By successfully merging various graph styles into a cohesive and interactive framework, our team not only met the challenge of simultaneous time and unit representation but also elevated the user experience. This innovative graph component, seamlessly integrated into our application, emerged as a powerful tool for leads to derive actionable insights and make informed decisions in real-time.







TABLE COMPONENT
Commencing with the standard table component as a foundation, I embarked on a journey of customization, incorporating features tailored to the unique requirements of the application. This involved the integration of supplementary elements to augment the user experience.

Among these enhancements, a noteworthy addition was the incorporation of a mini-graph, providing users with a condensed yet insightful preview of the trending graph directly within the table. This miniature version offered a quick visual reference, allowing users to grasp the broader data trends without navigating away from the table interface.

To impart actionable insights seamlessly, I introduced a functionality that triggers a popover upon user interaction. This popover, strategically designed, furnishes users with additional information, ensuring that pertinent insights are readily accessible without disrupting the flow of their interaction with the table.
