Hi Emmanuel,
Funny you should ask this. I just
replied to Andy M on the same question. Hopefully it will help. Just
keep on asking until someone makes sense ;-)
"Menu"
items are my own little addition to the wireframe concept. You may choose
to use them or not, of course.
In simplest terms, Menu exits are the kind
that you want displayed in global navigation, instead of in the page-specific
navigation.
But there is a real conceptual difference between "normal"
exits and "menu" exits. Normal exits are those which are involved in the
flow of a particular task, scenario, use case, etc. For example, in an
issues tracker application, a user may want to "find a particular issue, and
then update its status". There is certain trail of exits that the user
will need to follow to accomplish this. All of these exits should be
available as "normal" exits. They are part of the central flow of the
application.
But then there are exits that break you out of the scenario
you are currently performing. In the example above, let's say I have
searched for, and found, my particular issue; I have even brought up the form
for updating the issue, but then I get a phone call from my boss, asking me for
the status of an entirely different issue. So I want to bust out of my
issue-updating scenario, and jump straight into a different scenario. My
application therefore needs some "emergency" scenario-shifting links to allow
the user to get around in a discontinuos fashion.
Hmm.. not the
best explanation, but I hope that makes some sense.
More soon on your
other comments, gotta go make brekky.
Thanks
heaps,
LeeBB
