Need Feedback - New Report UI

We decided to replace the existing reporting solution with a new interface that will make it easier to integrate the Report Builder project (featured previously).  Matt Vasquez, our UI guy, has just given me his first attempt at doing that.  I am opening it up to you for comments, please watch the video and give us any feedback you think is appropriate.

Please read my post under the UPDATES tab for access to this video.  Go there now -> New Report UI

Thanks in advance.

I like the progress and look of this project.  

When searching for a report, our best practice is to drill down into reports by the primary tags; Administration, People, Ministry, Giving and Custom.  The first instruction a user sees is informing them that the tags to the right are an easy way to find a report.  I think this could create some confusion.  I think directing users to the tags in the right column should come after going to the primary tags.

@sdrechsler: thanks for the input. we are still working on the copy for that page (and all other pages really) so any insight or ideas on the language of those pages is much appreciated.

I really like the new look.  It seems a little more user friendly when trying to find reports. I am also glad you kept the traditional search box. (I use that the most) I believe our staff is going to greatly benifit from your enhancesments. Thanks for the sneak peak!
