Reporting involves multiple step processes including extracting and transforming data, enabling analysis and visualization to create informative reports. Users design and generate reports, distribute them to stakeholders, and monitor performance. This process facilitates data-driven decision-making, supports collaboration, and ensures timely insights for achieving organizational goals.
Understanding the Eagle structure model gives me a solid understanding of how Eagle functions. It's pivotal in my design process, helping me discern what users truly need when interacting with a product.

On the main screen, users can view information about Casegroups, each of which contains many cases from clients. This information will be visible on the next screen. Additionally, users can switch between dark mode and User mode, search for Casegroups and cases, filter information using filters, and view profiles.
Within a case, users can view cases from a Casegroup, including products from dentsu such as CAS, Competitive Strike, E-Commerce, Campaign Control, and customize profiles as desired.
Finally, on the dashboard, users can view dashboards, customize them, change themes, and take screenshots, as well as share them.

Since the project has not yet been launched, my plan is to continue conducting user usability testing to gain further insights into users' interactions with the dashboard. Additionally, I will present my ideas to Frank (my team manager) and Susanne (the product owner) to discuss the possibility of launching the design. This will involve collaborating with developers to implement any necessary changes or enhancements.
Furthermore, I intend to develop a mobile version of the product, as it is crucial for users to access the dashboard while on the go, particularly during meetings and pitches. Launching a mobile version will enhance accessibility and usability, further maximizing the benefits of the dashboard for users.
