Usability Benefits
Insight has been designed for simplicity, usability, and speed.

Simplicity:
Insight has been designed to support a diverse population of users, from those that have only a basic understanding of computers, the Internet, and browsers to very experienced professionals. This very broad user base has enabled us to provide a product that is easy to access and use with simple and understandable navigation. Since Insight is web-based, it is available anytime and anywhere and thus not tied to a specific location and computer.


Usability:
Insight presents complex information in a way that makes it easier to understand and use, and, easier to find. Insight is oriented around data views that maximize the ability to get and manage information quickly. In those situations where more complex information is needed, Insight gives you access to that information from more common and higher demand summary presentations.


Speed: Insight has implemented three techniques to enhance speed, they are:
  1. Quick Actions: Insight has been designed with the goal of minimizing the number of keystrokes required to accomplish some function. There are several examples of this; In quick entry areas where the most common information fields are presented for rapid update. Bulk update in which multiple data records can be updated with one submit action. Predefined work activity and work flow templates with predefined common data that minimizes the need to enter those field data points. Smart Navigation, described below. In custom individualized task lists when the most common tasks for an individual are presented for selection first.

Smart Navigation: Insight's Smart Navigation remembers where you were, and what you had selected, in a feature area so that when you navigate to another feature area, and want to navigate back, you only have to click the general link to that feature area and it returns you to the prior selections.
  3. Smart Data Retrieval Techniques: The time it takes to get the data you request for presentation can be dependent of the amount of data requested and the complexity of that data. Insight's Smart Data Retrieval Techniques minimize to the extent possible the amount of data that is retrieved and the database searches to get that data.
