3. Focus on actionable metrics
4. Position key metrics prominently

For Analysis

1. Compare periods (this week vs last)
2. Drill down from high-level to detail
3. Look for patterns in heat maps
4. Track trends over time

For Reporting

1. Standardize dashboards across team
2. Document metric definitions
3. Schedule regular exports
4. Include context in reports

Common Use Cases

Shift Handoff

Dashboard for shift change:

• Events in last 8 hours
• Outstanding alerts
• Equipment issues
• Notable incidents

Weekly Review

Dashboard for management:

• Week-over-week trends
• Detection accuracy
• Top issues
• System health

Incident Analysis

Dashboard for investigation:

• Focus on specific camera/time
• Related events
• Timeline view
• Detection details

Troubleshooting

No Data Showing

1. Check time range

   • Too narrow?
   • Future dates selected?

2. Check filters

   • Too restrictive?
   • Clear and retry

3. Check permissions

   • Access to selected groups?

Slow Dashboard

1. Reduce time range
2. Limit data points
3. Remove complex widgets
4. Use aggregated views

Inaccurate Numbers

1. Verify time zone settings
2. Check filter configuration
3. Compare with raw data
4. Report discrepancy if persists
