Usability Issues

0. Introduction

This page is to focus on broader areas of Sophie 2 functionality which impact product usability.; this page is purposefully not focused on the level of individual tasks. I've focused on several major sections of Sophie's functionality and added use cases to make it clear how these issues will appear in the real world. A subsection (name TK) discusses how well this works in the current version of Sophie 2 and suggests things that might need to change.

This page will be expanded as usability testing begins.

1. Timelines

Importance = high.

(See Steve's page here.)

1.1. Slideshows

2. Page templates

Importance = high.

Related issues: copying/pasting frames; shared frame/shared content problem.

3. Frames and flows

Importance = high.

Chaptering: does this merit a separate section? Obviously not going to be in there, but it is something people are going to want in some form.

Use case 1: standard book with single flow frame

Use case 2: book with parallel flow frames

Use case 3: book with several flows in series

4. Sophie Server integration

Importance = medium.

5. Book templates

(how important are these?)

6. Anchoring

Importance = medium.

7. Show/hide issues

(do we need to dig this up again?)

8. Text styles

(confusion between character & paragraph application.)

9. Bug reporting

(see my user bug tracking page.)

10. Resource handling

(basically: dealing with large numbers of resources in a book; sorting, filtering; importing everything at once. If we don't have drag and drop, this could become an issue to solve.)
