IP Phone Suite User Interface Tips and Tricks (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
Consider the following tip when using the IP Phone Suite application:
- The IP Phone Suite applications are designed so that a user doesn't need to manage navigation between screens using things like a Back button, and so the user doesn't need to remember "state" and answer questions like "how do I get from where I am back to another screen?"
Instead, users interact in a direct and forward manner. For example, regardless of the current state or screen, to view contacts, users choose Directory and then Contacts and then Outlook Contacts.
A side effect of this design is that most screens do not include Cancel buttons. Therefore, to cancel the current action on the current visible screen, select a different button (or key) that will bring up another screen.
For example, you can cancel the viewing of your speed dial list by pressing the key to display the Home screen, by viewing your contacts, and so on.
