Version control for PCB projects in PCB Design - Dashboard Guide

Dashboard Mode - Version control for PCB projects

Goal

Track and analyze version changes in PCB projects to understand progress, identify frequent updates, and monitor design stability over time.

Sample Data

Project	Version	Date	Changes Count	Designer	Status
AlphaBoard	v1.0	2024-01-10	5	Alice	Released
AlphaBoard	v1.1	2024-02-15	3	Bob	Released
BetaBoard	v0.9	2024-01-20	8	Charlie	In Progress
BetaBoard	v1.0	2024-03-05	2	Charlie	Released
GammaBoard	v1.0	2024-02-01	10	Alice	Released
GammaBoard	v1.1	2024-04-10	4	Bob	In Progress

Dashboard Components

• KPI Card: Total Versions Released
  Formula: Count of rows where Status = 'Released'
  Result: 4
• KPI Card: Average Changes per Version
  Formula: Average of Changes Count column
  Result: (5+3+8+2+10+4)/6 = 5.33
• Bar Chart: Versions per Project
  X-axis: Project
  Y-axis: Count of Versions
  Data: AlphaBoard=2, BetaBoard=2, GammaBoard=2
• Line Chart: Changes Over Time
  X-axis: Date
  Y-axis: Changes Count
  Lines: One per Project
  Shows how changes count varies by version date
• Table: Version Details
  Columns: Project, Version, Date, Changes Count, Designer, Status
  Shows all version records for detailed view

Interactivity

Filter by Project: Selecting a project updates all charts and the table to show only that project's versions.

Filter by Status: Choosing 'Released' or 'In Progress' filters the KPIs, charts, and table accordingly.

Date Range Filter: Limits the data shown in charts and table to versions within the selected date range.

Self Check

If you add a filter for Project = 'BetaBoard', which components update?

• KPI Cards update to show only BetaBoard versions and average changes.
• Bar Chart updates to show only BetaBoard with count 2.
• Line Chart shows changes over time only for BetaBoard.
• Table filters to show only BetaBoard version details.

Key Result

Dashboard showing PCB project version counts, changes over time, and detailed version info with filters by project and status.
