Introduction

"InSightive 1.0" product which talks about data, enable us to make informed decisions. The way InSightive helps to determine success and failure is always based primarily on the numbers. We derive great value from the stories that numbers tell , yet we rarely consider the significant of how we present them . So main purpose of this document is to learn some design practices which make our InSightive more effective . 

Since number cannot speak for themselves .Number have an important story to tell , and it is up to us to help them to tell it .Time is wasted struggling to understand the meaning  and significance of numbers - time that could be better spent doing something about them . Some best practices can solve this problem. Table and graph are usually the best means to Communicate Quantitative information() .we should think critically and creatively about the design of the table and graphs. There is no Single correct solution to the task at hand but we have one which give us an optimal way to express our data. With the advent of various tool everyone can produce reports of Quantitative information in the form of table and graphs But we have lost sight of the real purpose of Quantitative  displays : to provide the reader with important , meaningful and useful insight. To communicate Quantitative information effectively requires an understanding of the number and the ability to display their message for the accurate and efficient interpretation by the user .

 As the presenter of Quantitative Information , it is our responsibility to do more than sift through the information and pass it on ;we must help our users gain the insight contained therein . We must design the message in a way that leads the readers on  a journey of discovery , making sure that what's important is clearly seen and understand . The right numbers have important stories to tell . They rely on us to find those stories , understand them and then tell them to other in a way that is clear , accurate , and compelling.

Tables and graph of Quantitative  business information can be used for  four purposes:

• Analyzing
• Communicating
• Monitoring
• Planning

When you use tables and graphs to discover the message in data , you are performing analysis .

When you use them to pass a message on to others , your purpose is communication .

When you use them to track information about performance , such as the gain /loss or quality of treatment , you are engaged in monitoring .

When you use them to predict and prepare for the future , you are planning .

Although tables and graphs are both vehicles for the preparing information visually , the role that visual perception plays in reading and interpreting the information presented differs significantly for the tables and graphs. Graphs are perceived almost by our visual system while table interact primarily with our verbal system .with graph we see the pattern and relationship as a whole but in tables information stored sequentially , reading down columns or across rows , comparing this number to that number, one pair at a time .So neither method of Quantitative display is better than other, but each is better than the other for the particular communication task , and both play a vital role.
