User Interface
This provides a rough draft of a user interface.
It is not intended to make the html look
pretty, but just to sketch out what an interface
might look like.
Screens
This is a tentative list of the screens:
- Main Screen
- Data entry screen
- Specific search screen
- Create mail merge list screen
Main Screen
This is a mildly busy screen. It has several
functions:
- provide navigational access to other features
like data entry or specific search
- presumably these would be simple links
- provide a means for the user to apply various
filters to the underlying LDAP database
to
view a subset of the entire data.
- Most likely a system of checkboxes
- provide a means of displaying the filtered
data
- tabular form, scrollable, ability to sort
on column heads.
- clicking on specific entries should provide
all data for that entry
- provide a means of manipulating data, e.g.
selecting data for mail merge, or selecting
entries to be "added" to "my"
contacts.
Here is a sketch of what it might be like
Data Entry Screen
This screen should allow entering a new contact.
It should also provide a way to do that from
a Vcard
Specific Search Screen
This screen should provide a means of searching
a specific contact based
