When to Activate

• Designing or building an analytics dashboard from scratch
• Deciding on layout, widget placement, or information hierarchy
• Adding filters, date pickers, or drill-down navigation
• Implementing real-time data updates
• Designing empty, loading, and error states for dashboard widgets
