Hi there, I'm recently research about the flowchart as it was the part of my assignment. Flowchart is something like you do in programming, simple as that like you making a "system charts" which reacts the users reaction. Hmm, well like in troubleshooting or perhaps "Help" guide which has an interface system which produce an option of your question or problem and exchanging or given a solution, it comes with a flow like example in troubleshoot:
Internet Network Doesn't Connected?
-> (1) Did Modem turned on?
-> (1)On -> Did the ISP Server get connected?
-> (1a) Yes -> Recheck your ISP Server
-> (1b) No -> Get connect to your ISP Network by our modem
-> (2)Off -> Kindly turned on the modem and waiting for response
(Following)
-> (1) Did your Modem DSL Lights On?
-> (1) Yes -> Check your PPPoE server, make sure it has been turned on.
-> (2) Blinking -> Your PPPoE server was waiting for response, kindly waiting for a seconds.
-> (3) No -> Your PPPoE server was shut you need to turn it on.
Well although it doesn't look like flow chart however what I want is digging the meaning out =.=
Anyway, flowchart reacts the possibilities of solving or reacting your problem nor question and now:
Why do you want to use flowchart in your mobile interface design & screen interface design? How will it help your users to meet the interactive goals?
As the answer, Flowchart is the golden rule to keeping out the possible solution for your incoming problem. Also an important part to having the Flowchart is also setting down your priority of your option, what settings is your primary priority? secondary priority? It is some sort of better systematic way to brainstorming your interface + interactive design. There's also to make a pyramid chart in your flow as I seen in the video, set as your important grading. Mobile Interface Design + Screen Interface design is definitely a must to setting up a "Flowchart" because to make a better settings on your design you need a "Flowchart" to emphasize your possibility on your option and solution.
How will it help the users meet the interactive goals? Well... it sure help and that's the way to make the interactive goals. It just like an attachable ability for your ideal and people option. People sees the problem and suggest so they "attach" a "suggestion" or "question" and you "attach" the "solution" or "answer"
For more clarify information (if you dunno what the hell I'm talking)
please visit the recent website:
http:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowchart
or Google It ... keywords "Flowchart" :D
So here's the question ... or opinion that did "Flowchart" enter your entire part of your working? or in your life? or perhaps your design?
Kindly gives some comment please :D
