We did a big project from scratch at work, and they let the programmers basically design the UI.
Menus are loaded with jargon that doesn't translate well to 'user-speak'
'Update Table' instead of 'Create (thing)'
'Generate Report' instead of 'Display (thing)' (on screen)
'Submit Output' instead of 'Print Report'
I know that internally tables are being modified to have records added, modified , or deleted, I suggested it would be more intuitive if the UI was modeled on the 'Verb-Noun' format to address why the user sat in front of the KB:
User: "I want to update an existing project"
My very personal preference would be to have a 1st or 2nd level menu:
[Modify Existing Project]
instead of
[Table Maintenance], [Project Table], [Update]
Users come and go, but programs seem to last forever |
I loved the Icons Don Knuth Phd. used in his book on TeX:
A
curvy road ahead road sign, and 2 of them, for the really out there stuff
I am not sure Calibre can easily (logical) partition the menus for user levels. There is just too many settings that come into play
at some point
