Abstract:
A method for developing user interfaces to support efficient workflow implementation in an organization or in daily tasks of a typical consumer is disclosed. The method accounts for limitations in ability of a typical user of such interfaces to deal with more than about six elements of information or choices at any given step of a workflow. The method may include use of customized tools and other components developed to support implementation of user interfaces and data structures needed to implement user interfaces and associated data exchanges between client devices and applications on servers. The user interfaces, methods, tools, and other components may also be used to support user interfaces used to control software applications, information appliances, and other devices.
