This week • More system design examples • Building models • Abstract thinking • User interface design rules • Tutors • Visio narratives • RyanAir example MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Deploying IT Resources

. . . The design of your software's interface, more than anything else, affects how a user interacts and therefore experiences your application. Tandy Trower, 1994 MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Deploying IT Resources
User Interface Design Rules • Rule 1 • Making the Interface Simple • Rule 2 • Allowing Users to Be in Control of the Software MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Deploying IT Resources
Rule 1 : Making it simple • Making the Interface Simple • KISS, Keep It Simple and Straightforward • Are all fields or choices in your applicationnecessary? • Making the Interface Transparent and Natural • Don’t clutter the interface • Labels, static text, check boxes, and option buttons • Can user look at screen and figure out what to do? MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Deploying IT Resources
Rule 1 : Making it simple MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Deploying IT Resources
Rule 2 : Users in control Some of the ways to put users in control are: • Making the interface forgiving • Making the interface visual • Providing immediate feedback • Avoiding “Modes” • A mode is something you must cancel before doing something else • Making the interface consistent MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Deploying IT Resources
Rule 2 : Users in control MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Deploying IT Resources

Purchase request and payment • Departments make spending requests • Budget is checked in the allocated budget file • If budget exceeded, request is rejected • Approved requests are stored and used to create Purhcase orders (PO’s) for suppliers • Goods received notes (GRN) are matched with PO’s to identify any discrepancies • When supplier invoice is received, 3 way match is made between PO, GRN and invoice prior to payment MBS (MIMAS) / MIS533 / Deploying IT Resources
