Basics of a shinydashboard

In the previous chapter, you learned about shiny apps. In this chapter, you will realize that a shinydashboard is really just another shiny app but with more tweakable features. The same outputs and inputs discussed in the previous chapter can be used in exactly the same manner here. You will then learn to carry out some simple wire-framing for a dashboard, during which you can decide where to position outputs and inputs in the dashboard.
