calculated fields. They understand the data model and relationships between
tables to design effective queries that deliver accurate and meaningful results for
visualization.
• Query Optimization: The query designer optimizes queries to improve
performance and minimize execution time. They analyze query execution plans,
identify bottlenecks, and suggest optimizations like index creation, query
rewriting, or caching strategies to enhance query performance.
• Data Validation and Testing: The query designer validates query results to
ensure accuracy and data integrity. They perform data quality checks, verify data
against the expected outcomes, and troubleshoot any discrepancies or
anomalies. They also conduct testing and validation of queries in different
scenarios or edge cases to ensure reliable data retrieval.
• Collaboration and Communication: The query designer collaborates with other
members of the dashboard development team, such as dashboard designers,
data engineers, or business analysts. They communicate effectively to
understand requirements, gather feedback, and iterate on query design based on
changing needs or evolving data sources.
• Documentation and Documentation Maintenance: The query designer
maintains documentation of queries, data sources, and transformations. They
document the query logic, data mapping, and any relevant information necessary
for future reference or troubleshooting.

In summary, a query designer for an analytic dashboard plays a crucial role in designing
and optimizing queries that retrieve and transform data for visualization. They ensure
the accuracy, efficiency, and performance of the queries to deliver valuable insights
through the dashboard.

Query Writer Roles and Responsibilities

The role of a query writer for an analytic dashboard involves writing, optimizing, and
maintaining queries that retrieve and transform data for visualization. They play a critical
role in ensuring efficient data retrieval, accuracy, and optimal performance of the
dashboard.

The query writer is responsible for writing queries that retrieve the required data from
underlying data sources. They have expertise in query languages like SQL (Structured
Query Language) or other query builders specific to the dashboard platform. They
understand the data model and structure of the underlying databases or systems and
write queries that extract the necessary data efficiently. This responsibility distinguishes
the Query Writer from the Query Designer.
