Creating a query/layout matrix

Because data and how it is displayed are so closely linked, one of the best ways to plan the layouts for your worlds is to plan your queries and layouts in tandem.

Some people work better by drawing the graphs and charts they want and then composing queries to supply the data. Other developers might work better by composing queries first.

You can create a query/layout matrix, or spreadsheet, to keep track of each query and its associated layout. Again, your design might change as you try different layouts. The queries also might change as you add features that require query parameters, or when you discover a need for different data from your database.
