In this case, a large dataset is provided to the investigator to conduct a deep analysis of the problem in St. Himark. Due to large dataset, numerous analysis is needed in order to provide better insight in detecting the cause of the problem or even propose a solution to the detected problem. As such, it will be impossible to display all analyses in a single dashboard. While these analyses are interrelated to each other hence, there is no sequential order that should be followed. To resolve these issues, flexibility has become the main solution where it should provide users the flexibility to navigate the dashboard from one to another. To do so, the interactive button was created with 5 different categories – Homepage, Density Map, Map Dashboard, Radiation Level Readings, and Cumulative Sum of Sensors Readings. Each of these categories will be a further breakdown and provide the freedom of users to choose the analysis that they interested in.

COMMON INTERACTIVE FEATURES ACROSS ALL PAGES/DASHBOARDS

These interactive features will be available across all pages / dashboards except Homepage Dashboard. Other two common interactive features will be explained in detail in Homepage Dashboard.

RADIATION LEVEL READINGS

In this section, it will visualize the sensors’ reading over time for both Static and Mobile sensor. Through this graph, the small spikes or even small fluctuation of each reading can be observed so that it will allow users to detect any anomalies within that period of time. When raw data can reveal the spikes and changes over time, but it is not significant enough due to the consistent shift in CPM values (e.g. 8 and 13 showed the elevation in CPM values but when have more subtle changes will become not that obvious). Hence, to show the smaller changes, the log scale of radiation will be used.
