Abstract

Data visualization is an effective way to gain insights into various problems and improve the data-driven decision-making process, however it can often be complex and overwhelming. To enhance the interpretation and understanding of data, a proper onboarding process is required. Onboarding provides clarity on the visualization scope and purpose for users with different levels of expertise. The development of the onboarding process is facilitated with a suitable authoring tool. Though utilizing authoring tools, especially by creators with deficient visual design skills, can be quite challenging. In this thesis, we introduce an interface design for the authoring tool within the scope of the dashboard onboarding process. We are focusing on the constrained non-linear narrative and applying the approach of a branching story graph that is implemented as a node editor. The provided interface can be extended to develop more profound storytelling strategies and aim to create a more complex and highly interactive onboarding process.
