Hi,

We've only recently begun using the web authoring interface, but there have been a few usability issues that have impeded adoption.  In short, how a user gets into the web editing interface and how they deal with the existing views & fields isn't always as simple as it should be.  After reading a great post by Andy Kriebel on a workaround for downloading data into Excel (which also isn't as easy as it should be), I got inspired to add some functionality to our dashboards to address these usability issues.  My blog post below goes into more detail.

Let me know if there are any questions, or if anyone has come up with a better option (outside of using the API) to do this.
