[IxDA Discuss] Best practices for scripted interactions (for customer service reps)?

2008-01-22 Thread Al Selvin 
Are there any published, or web-available, examples of best practices for
handling UI design for applications that provide verbal scripts for customer
service reps who are talking to a customer on the phone while entering data?
(sorry, long sentence)

I have seen applications that handle these text snippets in scrolling text
boxes interspersed with data entry forms, or as speech bubbles like a comic
strip.

I'm interested in standards, ways that the text portions are maintained (e.g.
are there applications that do this like a CMS, or always as code embedded
in the rest of the application, or ...), good interaction approaches, ways
to depict/handle branching, etc.

Examples could be applications for car rental reps, tech support, order
takers, etc.

Any pointers appreciated.

Al

I like this published model so much, I keep it beside my telephone! I
know nothing about its development process.

(opens as a PDF, but it's worth it)
