Oh ok, and do we have any kind of system that logs in every action that the users take? This can actually contribute to organize the layout of the application, know what all features (maybe columns in this case) are often used. This way we can arrange items on the application accordingly (like hiding less commonly used option and making the common ones easily available) to reduce the overall cognitive effect for the users. Because currently all the features are laid down for the users that may contribute to the friction in users' journey.
Application Telemetry/Analytics can really help us understand how the application is actually being used.
Basically, this can be done by using the Application Insights SDK by setting up for a free-tier of Azure.
There is a significant performance hit when generating the filters on a large scan file. Having them run automatically might significantly degrade the user experience if all you want to do is look at results and dont plan on using filters.
That being said, the filter value generation can most certainly be improved in multiple ways, including running in the background etc. So there is a lot of room for improvement.
I understand work on the documentation is required. I am just suggesting rather than having different buttons for Activate Filters and Clear Filters, we can have something like:
- The Activate Filters when clicked, changes the button text to Clear Filters, or
- There is a toggle button to activate/clear the filters.
Toggles are the best in this case for interaction since the choice is binary [whether to have filters or not]
