BI Platform Admin Tip: Clean Up to Improve User Adoption
By 
A cluttered BI environment challenges users and can deter adoption. Few users appreciate a screen cluttered with outdated and little-used objects. To improve the situation, make the user interface an organizational priority. We recommend creating a process to track and remove unused and obsolete objects. This can help to keep menus and navigation paths as concise as possible.
To de-clutter your user environment:
- Use the standard tools in your platform to regularly measure object usage.
- Create a process to track and organize objects.
- Assign an owner and a business steward to each object, empowering each with the ability to make decisions about which items to keep and which to remove.
- Tell stakeholders about unused or little-used items and get approval to remove them.
Once changes take effect, don’t forget to communicate them to your users. They’ll be happy you’ve made it simpler for them to navigate to the information they need.
