Build and Refine Interactive Dashboards with Claude Artifacts
A focused workflow for turning a dashboard brief into an interactive prototype, testing its states, and checking the generated code before reuse.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Define the data, audience, and dashboard decisions
List the audience, the questions the dashboard should answer, the source fields, and the actions a viewer needs. Decide which metrics are primary, what each chart measures, and how date ranges or filters should behave.
"You are an expert React UI architect. In a standalone Artifact, build a responsive SaaS metrics dashboard with dark mode styling, key metric KPI cards, monthly revenue charts, and a filterable transaction table."
Generate and refine the first interactive dashboard
In Claude, open an Artifact-capable experience and describe the layout, data shape, responsive behavior, and interactions. Use sample data clearly marked as illustrative when the prototype is not connected to a real source. Review the rendered preview and ask for changes in small batches.
Test edge cases and review the code before reuse
Try realistic and edge-case inputs. Check empty results, invalid dates, long labels, small screens, sorting, filtering, and keyboard interaction. Copy or export code only after checking dependencies, data handling, accessibility, and error states; test it in the target application before release.
