@pimoore Ooops! šŸ˜… When users donā€™t have a clue, itā€™s 99% certain that management havenā€™t prioritized adequate education and not set aside IT person hours for it though.

@odd when 99% of users donā€™t have a clue, your product isnā€™t designed well.

@Archimage Oh, yes that might also been the answer. It depends if it is a single page app or for instance a multi-layered case worker app connected to many off-site databases. I could argue these could be implemented to be easier to understand as well, but they are often legacy systems.

@odd Legacy systems, almost by definition, should have users who know how to use the system. Theyā€™ve been around long enough for people to have figured them out. Itā€™s the new users you have to worry about.

@jeannie Thanks! I got it many years ago. Itā€™s a bit chauvinistic, but itā€™s a comfy heavy cotton t-shirt.

@Archimage Yes, the example I thought of was when i was job training in Social Services, (social security case worker dept.) and most users there knew maybe one or two screens, and didnā€™t want to mess with something they didnā€™t know the outcome of. These are high data-density screens, and when there were one new screen implemented, everyone was sent on a two-day course to learn the new screen, myself included. Because I, unlike the 50-70yo women working there, wasnā€™t afraid of checking out the system, and based on prior knowledge and educated guesses, knew how it was built up, I understood the new screen within minutes the first day.
