Providing simple and advanced options

It has been a long time since I've posted. Been hard at work looking at understanding our users and what issues they might be having - user research. One of the things that we found with software as powerful as ours, is that people need an easy starting point. Imagine if you saw Excel for the first time and were trying to figure out what to do.

So we've been busy adding more user-focused questions through pop-ups asking users if they would like X or Y ("would you like to re-run your process now?"). Most importantly, we've added a user guide view which distills the essence of what PAW enables and provides a focused task pane for just those functions. We feel so positive about this that we've made it the default starting view when users start the application!
