Tableau Build Brief — X9Elysium Admin Dashboard
Tableau Build Brief — X9Elysium Admin Dashboard
Hey — thanks for taking this on. Quick brief so you have everything you need.
What we're building
One Tableau workbook with 5 dashboards (sheets / tabs) that I'll embed into x9elysium.com behind auth as my agency's private command center.
The five tabs answer five questions:
- Leads & Pipeline — what's in the funnel, what's converting?
- SEO Performance — are we ranking, is organic growing?
- Website Health — is the site fast, who's visiting, are they converting?
- Tasks & Operations — what's open this week, what did we ship this quarter (Q1, Q2, …), what's slipping?
- Finance & Operations — revenue, expenses, A/R aging, cash flow, sample invoice template
Full spec for each tab (KPI tiles, chart types, fields, including the quarterly performance row on Tab 4) is in tableau-integration-plan.md § 1. Read that first — it tells you exactly what to put on each tab.
Sample data
In sample-data/. Ten CSVs + one sample invoice template:
leads.csv— feeds Tab 1seo-rankings.csv+seo-traffic.csv— feed Tab 2website-analytics.csv+core-web-vitals.csv— feed Tab 3tasks.csv— feeds Tab 4 (includescreated_at,completed_at,due_dateso quarterly rollups + on-time-completion metrics work out of the box)invoices.csv+expenses.csv— feed Tab 5sample-invoice.md— the standardized X9Elysium invoice template (renders one row ofinvoices.csvas a real invoice)x-posts.csv— feeds Tab 6 (Social — X). Ships header-only; rows are appended automatically by the GitHub Actions cron inscripts/x/. Design Tab 6 to render a friendly empty state until rows arrive (first cron post at 17:13 UTC).campaigns.csv— optional Tab 7 if you want to add a marketing/campaigns view (Instagram is intentionally excluded — brand strategy is X-only)
sample-data/README.md documents every column (type + meaning + example values + suggested calc fields like DSO, A/R aging, completion rate). Date columns are ISO 8601.
Important note on Tab 4 (Tasks)
I want a clear quarterly read in addition to the day-to-day. Please add a filterable quarter selector (defaults to the current quarter) and a row of KPI tiles showing:
- Tasks completed in quarter (count of
status=DoneANDcompleted_atfalls in selected quarter) - Completion rate (Done / Total created in quarter), with green/amber/red badge: ≥85% / 70–84% / <70%
- On-time rate (Done before due_date / Done)
- Avg cycle time (
completed_at−created_at, days) - Q-over-Q delta for completed tasks (this Q vs prior Q)
Sample data spans Nov 2025 → May 2026 so you'll have full Q4 2025, Q1 2026, and partial Q2 2026 to demo against.
Important note on Tab 5 (Finance)
This is the new tab. I want it to answer "did we make money this month and who owes us?" at a glance. KPI row at top, A/R aging bucket chart, cash-flow line chart, expense breakdown by category. See tableau-integration-plan.md § 1 → Tab 5 for the full list. Treat invoices.csv and expenses.csv as separate sources — no joins needed for v1.
The data spans roughly Nov 2025 → May 2026 so trend charts have something to show. It's synthetic but shaped to match what real X9Elysium data will look like in production (Shopify Plus consulting, GTA-based, Canada + US clients, ~2 inbound leads/week).
Brand / visual
If you can match the X9Elysium aesthetic in the workbook it'll embed seamlessly:
- Primary background: matte black
#000000/ near-black#0a0a0a - Accent / brand color: emerald green
#10b981(use this for the primary KPI color, "good" state, top series in line charts) - Emerald light:
#34d399— for hover / secondary - Emerald dark:
#059669— for negative-space accents - Warning / mid: amber
#f59e0b - Bad / red:
#ef4444 - Text on dark: white
#fffffffor primary,#a3a3a3for secondary - Borders / dividers: very low-opacity white
rgba(255,255,255,0.06) - Font: Inter (close substitute fine if Tableau doesn't have it — Tableau Book or Tableau Semibold work)
Premium / minimal vibe — lots of whitespace, no gradients on charts, thin lines, subtle grid lines.
Output
When you're done, share:
- A
.twbxfile (packaged workbook) so I have it locally. - Screenshots of all 4 tabs at a typical 1440×900 viewport.
- The published view URL on your Tableau account so I can preview before we move it to my Tableau Cloud site.
Don'ts
- Don't add data sources I haven't given you — keep the schema fixed so swapping CSV → Google Sheets later is mechanical.
- Don't put any real-looking PII in calculated fields or in dashboard titles. The sample lead names + emails are fake but treat them as if they were real.
- Don't publish to Tableau Public — these dashboards will have lead emails when wired to real data, so they need to live somewhere private.
Ping me with questions any time. Happy to jump on a call to walk through the spec.
