[aperi-dev] Web Based Report Viewer UI Design
|
Hi All,
I have completed the UI design for the web based report viewer demoed
last Wednesday 2/27 at the Aperi design meeting.
Since we are not meeting again until next
Wednesday and the schedule says I get the design done this week I created a
narrated power point slide show (sorry, its the hammer I got when I took this
job) and uploaded it to the Aperi web page where it is accesible via the
Wiki:
There are two versions, one in plain ol' ppt and one in HTML.
To get the audio to work in the HTML version you need to use IE as it
relies on some ActiveX controls (again, sorry. Can anyone tell me what is
a good demo/slide show recorder that produces something more neutral like
flash?)
In either case run it as a slide show with your speakers turned on. IE
requires you to hold down the control key when clikcing the slide show button to
enable the pop-up.
20 slides, running time is about 25 minutes.
The UI looks very Windows XPish in these slides since I was using Visio for
the mock up.
In real life it will look like the RCP GUI framework and dojo
widgets.
There were a couple of points I forgot to make in the narration:
Slide 6 Basic Concept: everything in the left pane (navigation) is written
by Aperi, while everything in the right pane (report view) is straight off the
shelf BIRT.
Slide 10 Operations on the Repository: Every action that effects the
repository is reflected immediately in the navaigation view.
Also a couple of minor glitches:
You will notice that the early slides are missing a checkbox in the view
control section of the navigation pane that shows up later.
The 'tree' in the navaigation view shows two 'disk' directories at the same
level. Obviously, that couldn't really happen.
I am steaming ahead with the implementation, so if there is anything really
major I missed or messed up let me know ASAP.
