Create sketches of the user interface that include reusable
sketch parts. Present the navigation between the user interface screens
by using a screen flow.
User interface sketches
A user interface sketch is a mock-up of the graphical user
interface of a product at any one point in the operation of the application.
You create user interface sketches by adding design elements to the
editor area.
Creating a user interface sketch
You can create a user interface sketch by selecting drawing
elements in the sketching palette and dragging them to the sketching
canvas. You can add reusable groups or elements, called "parts," to
the sketch. You can also add existing images and sketches to the sketch.
Creating a user interface part
You can create a reusable set of user interface elements
called a "part", which you can use to populate sketches and storyboards.
Parts can contain a single element, such as a menu, or can include
many elements that are aggregated in a container element, such as
a panel or group.
Screen flows
A screen flow represents a sequence of user-driven
software processes that are presented as a series of graphical user
interfaces.
Creating a screen flow
You can create a screen flow by adding sketches, screen
flows, or generic (undefined) elements to the editor. All elements
are represented in the editor as thumbnail images. Generic elements
can later be associated with sketches or screen flows. You can connect
the elements with transition lines that indicate the sequence of user
interface processes.
