Discoverable Data
There is no shortage of insights, metrics, and other interesting nuggets that we could present in the Wicket Scorecard. The challenge is avoiding information overload. To strike this balance we have employed pop-ups and mouse-overs throughout our product for users that want to dig a little deeper, and see more. This allows us to keep the Scorecard UI from becoming over-crowded and provides an easily discoverable pathway to more information.
