Filter and Sort
Overview
For navigation, a wizard was not an option since it would limit power users. Inspired by the wizard approach, I chose to display data progressively as the user navigates the application in order to guide them and prevent overwhelm. As the user makes each selection, the next set of data appears, preventing decision paralysis and helping them focus on the task at hand.
By simplifying the navigation experience and using simple UI elements like data tables and breadcrumbs, users are able to quickly locate and access data without feeling overwhelmed by the robust capabilities of the application.

A new framework
I broke the goal down into two smaller efforts: navigation and configuration. Through feedback we knew that users struggled to accomplish simple data changes. I needed to help them 1) find the data they want and 2) configure that data.
For navigation, a wizard was not an option since it would limit power users. Inspired by the wizard approach, I chose to display data progressively as the user navigates the application in order to guide them and prevent overwhelm. As the user makes each selection, the next set of data appears, preventing decision paralysis and helping them focus on the task at hand. These data sets present strategically in a way that will not hold back power users from a quick workflow.
