How to define/classify messages and notifications Seems reasonable but I'll state the obvious...the more rows or columns you add to this table, the farther away from the goal of a 'much more simple system' you get. |

Calendar recurrences on the last day of the month If the task is 'recur on the last day of the month' then why not use the correct settings in Outlook rather than those shown in the question? Here is how Outlook handles this situation and it seems sufficient for the functionality implied in the question. There is no ambiguity created by the variability in the number of days in a month because 'last day of every month' means 'the last day of every month regardless of the number of days in the month.' |

Why do physical keyboards still have built-in numpads? At the risk of sending comments off on a tangent, I second the recommendation for using the left hand for the mouse. I started using a trackball with my left hand because of CTS. I find it works much better than using my right hand for mouse, arrow keys, and number pad. |

Table Checkbox side best practices Agreed. Here are more reasons to put them on the left. * Similarity to the basic checkbox * Similarity to a checkbox list. * The checkboxes support actions on more than one item at a time. Controls for actions on individual items usually appear at the end of a row. Putting the 'group action' checkbox in the same location as the 'single item action' controls might lead to problems in anticipation of the function of those controls. |

How to translate a rating range into Red-Yello-Green Colours? @UsmanIsmail Mapping a 10-point ordinal rating scale to a set of colors varying by hue should be possible but not necessarily easy. To be effective, the color scale should be created in a color space that makes picking equal perceptual intervals possible, e.g., Munsell, CIELab. Given your lack of experience, do not attempt to use choose your colors in RGB. Choose them in a different space and map them to RGB. Take a look at colorbrewer2.org to understand more about 'equal perceptual intervals.' |

Do people actually use tooltips? Indirect evidence of widespread tooltip use. Microsoft collects massive amounts of usage date. Microsoft says "tooltips are successfully and frequently used by people at all skill and experience levels". Therefore, Microsoft has data showing many people use tooltips. |

What is the difference between a Hi-Fidelity Prototype and a visual design? In complex software, 'fidelity' does not refer to visual design alone. There are 5 dimensions of a prototype that can range from low-fidelity to high-fidelity and whose level is independent of the other dimensions. (1)Level of Visual Refinement, (2)Breadth of Functionality, (3) Depth of Functionality, (4) Richness of Interactivity, and (5)Richness of Data Model. See McCurdy for more details. |

Information visualization - display 6 related ranges on a single chart A sum may be 'the same data' but it requires mental computation by the user. By imposing the 'not show the same data twice' constraint on the design, you are imposing your mental model of the design task on the user's actual task. The easiest way to compare total amount of fruit sold to total expect amount is to show the totals. Anything else requires more effort by the user. |

Information visualization - display 6 related ranges on a single chart A grouped bar chart showing expected sales and actual sales for apple sales, orange sales, and total sales would show the data you need to answer the question. |

Data Visualisation I voted for this answer despite the snarky comment about the pie chart. Tufte and his disciples abhor pie charts. However, many graph users (readers?) are not information visualization experts. They prefer pie charts. Why not give them what they want? Or at least give them pie. |

How do you provide interaction in plots and graphs on touch devices? In decreasing order of interactivity, checkout Tableau Mobile, Roambi Analytics, SAS Mobile BI. Search for 'business intelligence' on the app store to find more apps like those. |
