Driving Principles

I want a more modern user interface.
Make it easier to find the information I’m looking for. It’s too hard to
create and edit displays.
I need to be able to start working where I left off.

Driving Principles
15
I asked for features that are not hidden. I’ll never need a user’s manual again.
I want a more modern user interface. Now I have a modern and intuitive UI. Make it easier to find
the information I’m looking for. Finding information has never been more powerful. It’s too hard to create
and edit displays. Display creation is fast and easy.
I need to be able to start working where I left off. I can start without remembering every detail.
