The first half of the flow. Users were repeating the same manual action for every configuration because the system treated each one independently rather than splitting at the source.
Before — repeated effort (4 steps)
Each selection adds a step
1
User adds list items as A and B
Treated as one undifferentiated dataset.
2
User selects configuration
No internal distinction between A and B.
3
User manually applies list items for each selection
Config 1: add list items
Config 2: add list items
Config 3: add list items
Repetition scales with configurations
4
User continues
Context switching interrupts momentum.
After — automation enabled (3 steps)
Split at source enables automation
1
User adds list items as A and B
Enabling condition for automation.
⚡ System action — no user effort
2
User selects configuration and list A is automatically applied
