Mark, Not sure if this addresses your question... These days, we're making modular wireframes: creating individual screen components and assembling wireframes from those "lego bricks". As part of that process, we usually generate a spreadsheet of all the components we want to create. This allows us to validate the list before diving in and wireframing all of them.
One advantage to this modular approach is that we can then quickly and easily create a document that specifies behaviors/details for each component -- a component catalog. Imagine that each component is wireframed separately in individual Visio (or whatever format you use) files. We simply drop the component into a specification document instead of a screen template. (We call those "views".) As for specific conditions, the component catalog is ideal when we create a wide set of components for use in a variety of circumstances that are not covered by all the wireframes/templates. That is, the range of wireframes does not include every possible component. There are other situations, but that one came to mind... -- Dan On 12/12/07, Mark Richman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was discussing a new project with someone from our Sales group, and > they asked me how I kept track of fields in case they were dropped > from the actual implementation for some reason.
