Design review checklist in PCB Design - Dashboard Guide

Dashboard Mode - Design review checklist

Dashboard Goal

This dashboard helps PCB designers and reviewers quickly check the status of design review items to ensure quality and completeness before manufacturing.

Sample Data

Checklist Item	Status	Assigned To	Priority	Comments
Component Placement	Complete	Alice	High	All critical parts placed
Routing Check	In Progress	Bob	High	Some nets need rerouting
DRC Errors	Complete	Charlie	High	No errors found
Silkscreen Review	Pending	Alice	Medium	Waiting for final approval
Gerber Files	Pending	Bob	High	Not generated yet
Thermal Analysis	Complete	Charlie	Medium	Passed all tests
Design Rule Updates	In Progress	Alice	Low	Minor updates ongoing

Dashboard Components

• KPI Card: Total Items
  Formula: Count of all checklist items = 7
• KPI Card: Completed Items
  Formula: Count where Status = 'Complete' = 3
• KPI Card: Pending Items
  Formula: Count where Status = 'Pending' = 2
• Bar Chart: Items by Status
  Formula: Count of items grouped by Status
  Data: Complete=3, In Progress=2, Pending=2
• Table: Detailed Checklist
  Shows all columns from sample data for review

Interactivity

Filter by Status or Assigned To updates the bar chart and detailed checklist table. KPI cards update counts accordingly.

Example: Selecting Status = 'Pending' filters the table to only pending items and updates KPIs to show total and completed counts for that filter.

Self Check

If you add a filter for Assigned To = Alice, which components update?

• KPI Cards update to show counts for Alice's items (Total: 3, Completed: 1, Pending: 1)
• Bar Chart updates to show status counts for Alice's items
• Detailed Checklist Table shows only rows assigned to Alice
