Utility Data Web Page Design- Presenting the Data

Authors

Abstract

Presenting utility data in a meaningful way may be an art or it may
be a science. However, one thing is for sure: the design of the presenta-
tion depends entirely on those who will be using it. Once the general
specification for the utility information is created, it is the responsibility
of the developer to make the pages informative, intuitive, reliable, and
robust. Using web technologies, a developer can make large amounts of
utility data come alive with informative “vision” into utility consump-
tion. Web pages full of utility data can be transformed instantaneously
from one report to another. Trends can show critical values that may
have been missed otherwise. Data can be compared and analyzed imme-
diately rather than sifting through reams of paper reports and spread-
sheets. The user of the data becomes the master of it, rather than the
other way around.
