Reports operations can run without a further request
Self-service reporting, here, means an operations team can filter and reuse a report without sending another request. That is a model and a layout problem, not a training-video problem.
What the page has to make obvious
The next action. If the important number is in the third row, people will ask for a screenshot instead of using the report.
Filters have to match how the team already talks about the work: site, shift, product, not a warehouse key.
What sits underneath
A semantic model they are allowed to use, refresh they do not have to trigger, and measures whose names match the conversation.
If a new cut still needs a new page every time, the model is not self-serve yet.
