The joy of reporting

(June 14th, 2007 - 10:53AM)

At work I'm designing reports for our new document performance system. One of the things I hate about designing reports is the process of coming up with clear and unambiguous names for very complex reports. We currently have a report called "Highest % pages read." This is not a great name - it's too technical. However, since the original name was "Performance by deepest penetration," it's a step in the right direction.

It's probably worth noting that a lot of people preferred the original name.
