Beyer H., Holtsblatt K., Contextual Design

• Focus area
• A focus area collects functions and work objects
  into a coherent place I the system to support a
  particular type of work. A function should be
  necessary to do the work, not to manipulate the
  UI
• Supports performing a coherent part of the work
• Named with a simple active phrase
• Lists functions that are needed to do the work
• Lists the work objects that the user needs to
  perform the work
• Numbered for unambiguous references to the focus
  area
• Purpose
• Short description of what the focus area does I
  supporting the work
• Functions
• Functions are described on the UED with a short
  phase. They are written up online with a
  description of their behavior and justification.
• Functions invoked by the user
• o Functions that are automatically invoked by the
  system as necessary
• (name) Function clusters that appear in multiple
  focus areas.
• Links
• Links
• An arrow between focus areas represents the link.
  The function name may not be the same as the
  destination focus area name, in which case the
  name ore number of the destination focus area
  should be given in parentheses.
• Double Links
• A double line between focus areas represents the
  double link. The double link indicates that the
  work done in the second focus area needs the
  context of the main focus area and that the user
  will switch back and forth between the two.
