UI improvements in Quick Report

The Quick Report user interface has had a small enhancement, but small things can make a big impact on the overall user experience.

Save/Save as button

Fist, we added a “Save / Save as” button. Choosing “Save” simply saves your work by updating the last saved version of the file to match the version on your screen. Choosing “Save As” displays a prompt to save your work as a file with a different name.

Tooltip

The second improvement is tooltips (small messages displayed when you hover over an area). We’ve added them to the subtotal rows to help you easily see the sorting direction: ascending or descending.

Results

Here’s how the final results look:
