Landscape & Discovery, Version 0.8

Summary

Based on the feedback and internal analysis on the structure (reports and underpinning ‘tabs’) and performance (load time) of the L&D application, the need to split several dashboards was identified. Both the split of some of the very data intense areas of the dashboard and the timely introduction of an improved navigation panel to the left allowed us to introduce a number of improvements in the area of reports by introducing new ones and restructuring existing ones. The result improves the usability substantially.

In addition, some desired visualizations were added as described below.

We have also added an in-app basic user guide.
