Just in Time Education Tout

When clients see a new alert for the first time, we show a large illustration and dismissible panel inside the Action Items table.

Should a user click the "X" and dismiss this educational tout, we save that state to their user account so they never have to see it again, rather than saving this into a browser cookie that can easily be reset and continue to annoy users.

Progressive design elements help you strike a balance between just-in-time educational touts like this with a power-user friendly experience in the long run.
