Building Internal Tools That People Actually Use

Internal tools deserve better than a table with every database field squeezed into it. The person using one may spend hours there each week.

I'd watch someone complete a routine task before drawing a dashboard. Which values do they copy? Where do they have to stop and ask someone? A useful improvement might be a clearer label or remembering a filter. Those changes aren't especially exciting to demonstrate, but they're the ones I'd want if I had to use the thing every morning.
