Ah, the classic "make this section illogical to all, except the person who uses it the most (or asks for the change)" Laugh | :laugh:

I had a discussion with a (otherwise very nice and understanding) client.
They have this overview with a date filter.
The lines shown have a status, like new, in progress, finished, error... Initially I showed new, in progress and error for the last few days.
Then I got a call, Sander, we only want to see today.
So I asked how they're going to see any errors as they usually work through the list at the end of the day and so they probably won't notice the errors the next morning.
"They'll have to check manually."
"Should I show everything from today + all errors ever?"
"No, that would not make sense."
I don't think I'll have to finish my story, but they never checked for errors and some weeks later they asked me how it was that they missed all those errors D'Oh! | :doh:
To be fair, the guy wasn't wrong, but he wasn't right either Laugh | :laugh:
