ataglance

Ataglance is a stylized form of the common English phrase “at a glance,” used to convey a quick overview or summary of information. In ordinary usage, the expression appears as three separate words, but the single-word variant is sometimes adopted in branding, product naming, or user interfaces to suggest conciseness and immediacy.

Originating from the idea that a viewer can understand key details with a single look, the phrase at a glance is widely used to introduce concise summaries, dashboards, or quick-reference sections. In web and app design, an “At a Glance” area or widget typically highlights essential metrics or highlights, allowing users to grasp the main points without deeper exploration.

As a coined or branded term, ataglance may appear as the name of a product, service, or feature designed to present information quickly. Because it is not a standard dictionary entry when written as one word, its precise meaning and scope are defined by the context in which it is used. In practice, it signals a high-level, easily digestible view of data, performances, or summaries.

Related concepts include at-a-glance summaries, dashboards, executive summaries, and data visualizations. While the traditional phrase remains two or three words, the one-word variant is employed primarily for branding or UI labeling to emphasize immediacy and clarity.
