15、users cannot view meaningful amounts of information in individual tiled windows. 5.3.9 Tiled window format A tiled format should be used in cases where - the task requires little or no variation in the size, numbers, contents and arrangement of windows; - continuous visual access to the information

16、currently displayed (e.g. critical information, information nececsaril, used for the task) is required; - the processing required for the rapid manipulation and display of overlapping windows degrades system response time and user task performance. 5.3.10 Selection of window format If appropriate fo

17、r the task, users should be allowed to select the preferred windowing format and save the selected format as “default“. 5.4 Areas The recommendations for the organization of information into areas provide guidance on the relative location of areas and the complexity of information displayed in areas

18、. 5.4.1 Consistent location of areas Areas (.e. identification, inputloutput, control, and message area) used in the dialogue within an application shoulc be consistently located.

21、7 OBLOBL7 782 EN IS0 9241-12:1998 5.5 Inpuoutput area The recommendations for organizing information in inputloutput areas provide guidelines to present information required for the task, to portion displayed information if necessary, and to indicate the relative position of information currently di

22、splayed. 5.5.1 Required information If possible, all of the information required to perform a given task should be displayed in the inputloutput area. If this is not possible: a) the information required should be structured into subsets corresponding to task steps; b) these should support appropria

23、te sub-tasks and be meaningful to the intended users; c) splitting of information should not result in reduced task performance. 5.5.2 Scrolling and paging If the amount of information to be displayed exceeds the available inputloutput area, the user should be provided an easy means (e.g. horizontal

24、 or vertical paging/scrolling) to view portions of the information not currently displayed. When the user has to discern some relationship between separately displayed sets of information, it is desirable to display the two sets of information on a single screen, and scrollinglpaging is not always a

Techniques such as windows, split-screens, keywords, indexing, etc. can facilitate the overview of two sets of 5.5.3 Indication of relative position of displayed information If the information exceeds the available inputloutput area, the relative position and proportion

26、 of the information currently displayed should be indicated in relation to the total amount of information (e.g. a scroll bar, slider, or “page x of y“ indication). 5.6 Groups The recommendations for groups provide guidelines for arranging information into groups. Grouping information on the screen

27、helps the user to perceive, find, and interprecomprehend information more easily. 5.6.1 Distinction of groups Groups should be perceptually distinct according to spacing and location (see figure 8). If necessary, other means should be used to improve distinctiveness (e.9. a box around the group). 11

In the example, the observer perceives columns instead of rows. c) Law of closure (see figure 11) EXAMPLE 1 L A Figure 11 - Illustration of law of closure Non

32、-existent parts of a figure are added or incomplete figures are completed automatically. This is the case with all groups of data that are spatially separated and where the observer attempts to build a coherent figure. 5.6.2 Sequencing If the task requires a specific sequence, information should be

33、grouped and placed in an order which supports that sequence. 5.6.3 Use of conventions Groups of information should be arranged to follow common formats, conventions and customs (ag. addresses). 5.6.4 Functional grouping If the task does not require a specific sequence, task-related information shoul

34、d be organized into groups that are semantically related (.e. meaningful to the user). 5.6.5 Visually distinct groups - “chunks“ If task performance requires rapid visual search, the number of groups should be minimized and each group should span as close as possible to about 5“ visual angle. Charac

35、ter size should not be decreased in order to get more information into the group, as readability will be impaired (see IS0 9241-3:1992, subclauses 5.4 to 5.6 and 5.0 to 5.12). For character-based interfaces the recommended group area spans approximately 5 to 6 lines in vertical length top to bottom

36、and 10 to 12 characters in width. Groups exceeding these limits require more eye movements and therefore greater search times. 5.7 Lists Lists are used for organizing information. The recommendations for lists provide rules for ordering, numbering, and layout of information, the usage of headers, an

37、d guidelines for lists extending beyond the display area. 5.7.1 List structure Lists should be organized in a logical or natural order appropriate to the task. NOTE If no such order is applicable, alphabetic ordering can be considered. 13 STDmBSI 8s EN IS0 92YIi-LZ-ENGL 1999 = Lb24bb9 0830820 277 EN

38、 IS0 9241-12:1998 5.7.2 Item reparation Items and groups of items in a list should be visually distinct from one another to support visual scanning. 5.7.3 Alphabetic information The format of lists of alphabetic information should depend on language conventions, for example, vertical lists of alphab

39、etic information are left-justified for languages which read from left to right. See figure 12. NOTE Indentation can be used to indicate subordination in hierarchical lists. Cities Basel London New York Paris Figure 12 - Illustration of left-justified alphabetic information 5.7.4 Numeric information

40、 (see figure 13) Numeric information without decimal signs (comma or point) should be right-justified. Numeric information containing decimal signs should be aligned with respect to the decimal sign. 34.500 0.31 32315 323.450 Figure 13 - Illustration of alignment of numeric information 5.7.5 Fixed f

41、ont size A fixed font size with constant spacing should be used in numeric lists. 5.7.6 Itom numbering When listed items are numerically labelled, the numbering should begin with 1“ (one), not “O“ (zero), unless this conflicts with user expectations. 5.7.7 Continuity of item numbering If a list of n

42、umbered items exceeds the available inputloutput area and has to be paged/scrolled for its continuation, items should be numbered continuously in relation to the first item in the initial inputloutput area. In menus this recommendation does not apply to number designators used for option selection a

43、nd execution (see IS0 9241-14:1997, 7.2.6 and 7.2.7). 14 5.7.8 Indication of list continuation (see figure 14) If a list extends beyond the available display area, an indication of list continuation should be provided (e.9. more“ after the last displayed item, page 2 of Y, or a scroll bar indicator;

44、 see also 5.5.3). page 2 of 3 City Bertin London Oslo Paris Bogota Caracas Lima Mexico City Santiago Washington Figure 14 - Indication of list continuation 5.8 Tables Tables are appropriate to organize information into visual meaningful subsets. The recommendations for organizing information in tabl

45、es provide guidance for the arrangement of tabular information in an appropriate format. 5.8.1 List organization in tables (see figure 15) Tabular information should be arranged such that the material most relevant to the user or with the highest priority is displayed in the leftmost column, and ass

46、ociated but less significant materia1 in columns further to the right, unless this conflicts with user expectations. This applies to languages which are read from left to right.

For data entry tasks see IS0 9241 -1 7 5.8.3 Maintaining column and row headings If a

48、table uses column and row headings and extends beyond the available display then the headings associated with the visible columns andor rows should always be visible. 15 5.8.4 Facilitating visual scanning A distinctive feature to facilitate scanning should be provided. For example, techniques such a

49、s inserting a blank line approximately every five lines should be used, see figure 16. Other techniques (e.g. colour or lines) could be used to aid scanning or to indicate table areas.
