Data storytelling at Attest: Introducing Boards

At Attest, we understand that data storytelling is an iterative and often collaborative process that requires its own focused tools beyond basic analysis. So we created Boards – dynamic spaces for you to save insights as you go, craft your story and share with others. 

Read on to see how Boards transforms the Attest Results Dashboard from an analysis tool to data storytelling hub.  

Why Boards?

When designing Boards we had two main problems in mind:

Data storytelling is not a linear process

We have some powerful analysis tools like segments, crosstabs and automated statistical significance but it was challenging to keep track of what you were figuring out and it was time consuming to go back and recreate a view of your data. 

Now you can save insights as you work. Use Boards as a dynamic workspace to figure out which insights are important and easily keep them up to date using new filters and splits. 

Getting the right data into the right people’s hands

We know that some people love a slide deck but what about those who want to dig into the data for themselves? Giving your stakeholders full access to dashboards isn’t always feasible as you want to guarantee they come to high quality conclusions about what the data is saying. 

Boards offer a perfect balance between the curated view of a deck and the ability to explore data in a full dashboard.

How Boards work

  1. Save charts as you work – either in the dashboard or in the Board itself. They are designed to be flexible so you can save charts however you work. 
  2. Add as many insights as you like and figure out which ones to keep, delete and update later. Boards are designed to be intuitive – reorder charts and text boxes with drag and drop, update filters and splits as needed and change chart type as you work. 
  3. Once you’re happy with your story, export images to include in a PPT or make your Board public to give your stakeholders an interactive view of the story. 

We are excited for you to get in and play around with Boards so you can see for yourself how they save valuable time and support you in formulating an impactful narrative for your story.
