In its initial stages, the FlaSH dashboard only enabled me to assess -potential anomalies by viewing graphs, line-by-line, as generated by the -FlaSH program. There wasn’t an efficient way to filter various incoming -anomalies when I needed to examine specific geographic areas or signals. -Nor was there an easy way to see a daily overview map of the aggregated -average FlaSH scores for nationwide anomalies. Without the current -dashboard, I was spending a good amount of time scrolling, manually -sorting, documenting, and searching for specific anomaly reports I -wanted to examine rather than focusing solely on identifying, marking, -and analyzing anomalies.

-

Now, in its current iteration, the FlaSH dashboard lets me easily -filter daily anomaly results by various variables including geos and -signal types, and also view a national map offering a quick glimpse of -locations of high FlaSH scores. Furthermore, the updated FlasH dashboard -now enables me to take detailed notes on particularly interesting -anomalies, trends and other issues of importance, and maintain these -notes in an organized, searchable fashion within the platform.

-

These new dashboard features allow me to devote more of my time and -efforts to assessing anomalies of interest and focus on geographies with -high concentrations of problematic data or noteworthy trends.

-

Finally, now with the dashboard’s repositioned filtering menu, the -page layout becomes an even more familiar environment. The menu echoes -the user-friendly layouts of popular retail and informational sites, -making navigation much smore intuitive and smoother, thus allowing me to -work through various options more quickly.
