Dashboard For those who may have a similar question, here is a slideshow with an example of dashboard relevant to traffic monitoring:
http://www.slideshare.net/matthieua/dashboard-definition-exa...
(See slide 14).
It looks as though I'll be using "dashboard" ...
claude-andrew (asker) Jan 15, 2011:
Now I think I understand: the "tableaux de bord" must be a heading for what follows in the list - in which case as Simon says, "dashboard" would be appropriate.
veratek Jan 15, 2011:
so this is an interface on a computer application? if so, then it sounds to me like it's the client dashboard part of the application
claude-andrew (asker) Jan 15, 2011:
More info Thanks for your suggestion - as for context, it really is just a short list, presumably to construct an interface for electronic toll clients to monitor their charges. The rest of the list repeats much of what I've posted here. By the way, TLPC = trajet le plus cher.
veratek Jan 15, 2011:
more info? what is this list of? in what kind of document?

control panels

an alternative to "dashboard". It's probably analogous to the "dashboard" available to Proz members; the corresponding interface for users of ISPs in the UK is often called "control panel" - I have, for example, access to my "control panel" at my own ISP and one that I manage for somebody else. I use them, for example, to define email forwarding, renew a domain name, pay for services.

dashboard

When I worked in company management, we talked about "dashboards" as a monitoring tool. You might have a range of measurements made to monitor quality or business performance, such as number of customer complaints, total sales value per week/month, etc. For each indicator there would be a target and you might also set threshold values for alert and warning status. Values can be taken from a company computer system and fed automatically into an applicaiotjn like Excel where each value is plotted over time and the applicaiton automatically signals when thresholds or targets are achieved. Like the dashboard on a car, which gives you a "topl-level" view of what is going on under the bonnet.

BTW, seems to fit your list of items perfectly: complaints, invoices, no. of badges, etc.

thanks
agree Steve Melling : I never used to accept "dashboard" for anything other than for a car etc. but it seems to be commonly used.
