Also, colors.

Make all tests blue, all real alerts red. A tiny and simple change, but makes such a difference.

EDIT: I decided to create a mockup with only tiny changes:

1. the current version https://s3.kuschku.de/public/01_current.PNG

2. Color-coding added https://s3.kuschku.de/public/02_colors.PNG - already a significant change, with only one line of CSS

3. Semi-Sorted into groups, and always moved drills to the top of the group (so a person searching top-to-bottom finds the drill first): https://s3.kuschku.de/public/03_sorted.PNG

The result is done with 3 lines of CSS, and an additional class on each link. Tiny change, costs you a single-digit dollar amount to implement, and can be so much more effective.

I will say color makes a bigger impact on people that are not paying attention. I built a batch script to automate a lengthy process we had to do to a few dozen offline computers. I had field techs telling me it ran but didn't work. Found out that they were not reading the output of the command line. It would ask them to run it as Administrator. Quick fix, I made the box background go red and the text yellow when it hit this issue and never had a problem since.
