Dashboard Features

CellCog dashboards can include:

Data Sources

You can provide data via:

1. Inline data in prompt: Small datasets described directly
2. File upload: CSV, JSON, Excel files via SHOW_FILE
3. Sample/mock data: "Generate realistic sample data for a SaaS company"

Chat Mode for Dashboards

Choose based on complexity:

Default to "agent" for most dashboard requests. CellCog's agent mode handles charts, tables, filters, and interactivity efficiently.

Reserve "agent team" for truly complex applications requiring significant design thinking—like building a novel game mechanic or a highly customized analytical tool with multiple interconnected features.

Tips for Better Dashboards

1. Prioritize key metrics: Don't cram everything. Lead with the 3-5 most important KPIs.

2. Describe the data: What columns exist? What do they mean? What time period?

3. Specify chart types: "Line chart for trends, bar chart for comparisons, pie for composition."

4. Include interactivity: "Filter by date range", "Click to drill down", "Hover for details."

5. Design direction: "Modern minimal", "Corporate professional", "Playful and colorful", specific color schemes.

6. Responsive needs: "Desktop only" vs "Must work on mobile."
