dangar Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So, I am building this ecommerce website for a start-up company. They haven't made any sales yet. But I am building the admin panel that needs a dashboard showing track of the activity. What data should the dashboard show?

requinix Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Are you making the dashboard for us or for them? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/305183-new-website-dashboard/#findComment-1552262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangar Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 For them. I don't know how it will work without any data in all those order, shipping etc tables.thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/305183-new-website-dashboard/#findComment-1552263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 For them.Then don't ask us. Ask them. It's their dashboard, they are the ones going to use it, ask them what they want to see. Is this your first time working with a client? You have to actually, you know, get information from them. Guessing is not going to help you in the long run so learn how to gather requirements now. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/305183-new-website-dashboard/#findComment-1552264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangar Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks. It is my first time working with a client. Its not their requirement. I just wanted to add additional features to it.

Solution requinix Posted October 3, 2017 Solution Share Posted October 3, 2017 It's great that you want to be proactive about features, but ultimately it should be up to the client. You can certainly propose ideas to them like "Hey, would X be useful to you?" but don't go changing the specs because you want to do more. If the dashboard currently meets requirements then move on to the rest of the project: having everything finished on time and on budget will be better than having some parts of it looking great but other parts not done yet. You can always add more dashboard stuff later. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/305183-new-website-dashboard/#findComment-1552266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
