Wk5 tut_UI and use case description review post by THANA

We got our UI and use case description reviewed. Learned a few new things about the use case description and ui. Information as follows

-Re-arrangement of the UI buttons, text/label fields for easy navigation and convenience
-make the resort pass from popup window to a distinct label
-understand the difference from activation and navigation
--> buttons are used to activation not navigation
-search for new swing field from external sources
-Use case description
--> ammend the use case description to syncronise with the UI
--> to communicte with user requirements
- pre condition
--> a condition before entering information
-post condiotion
--> the condtion that is fullfilled

Please zhng your properties

All your windows should have the following properties:

jFrame size = 1280, 800
jTabbedPane size = 1100 600
jTabbedPane location = 85, 75

Will update if any changes are needed.

RESERVE ROOM CHANGED UI!! (UPDATED)

the image are arrange according from last to the 1st UI page of (reservation of room).

wanni (reservation of room) new UI!!

wanni

Things that i wont change in my UI!!

mr chew, remember you ask me to take of the two lines of words under the payment mode??
i think i will keep that..
-cause as the application is only use by our staff, we cant expect our customers to know all this, example, how long we will keep the room for them if they did not show up on the check in date..
therefore its our staff job to remind the customer, so i feel that theres a need for the 2 lines to be there..
1)it can help our staff by reminding them that theres tis "rule" and its their job to tell the customer upon they reservation of room..
2)as the rule is made clear, it can also prevent any unhappiness between the customer and the staff, example if the customer check in later than 6pm..

same goes for all the other lines of words i have in my UI..
all will stay..
reason = 1) it can be user friendly by guiding the staff, even new staff should be able to use it..
2)the information is very important, so i need it to be there..

i will update my UI later when i have finish it..

3.25am.. ZZZZZZZ
i m still doing project.. =D

=) , wanni

Changing again..

as we are moving towards the client server application, we have decided to change our UI to what we post in our blog earlier..
our NEW UI, will be something similar to what we post up..

-we will be creating alot of TABS..
reason = 1) we don't want to put too much things in a tab, cause tis will onli make it more untidy..
2) we won't know if our client would like to improve the application by adding more information in the future, so we make more space just in case they want to add in more things..

-we might be adding buttons like, "check in", "check out","reserve room", "adminstrate room" and "adminstate customer"..
the function of this buttons are, for example, when the staff click on the "reserve room" button, all the tabs for reserve room will den be shown on the application.
reason = 1) cause if we show too much tabs on the application, this will be untidy and will also waste alot of time for the staff to find the correct tab..

so far only this.. =)
the use case diagram (whole grp) is DONE!!
whereas the use case description (individual) is still making in process.. =))

will update tis blog if we got new stuff..

enjoy OUR weekend!!

cheers, wanni

Client web image

updated UI of reservation of room!

add a few buttons in..
and a few check boxes..
a button indicate "update" next to personal information and payment mode..
a button indicate "information on suite" next to room requirement..

the update button for personal information, is to update the information retrieve from our database..
- in case customer have change their email or contact no..

the update button for payment mode is similar to personal information..
use to update the information retrieve from our database..
-in case customer want pay by using other credit card(master card, visa, amex, etc)..

the information on suite is to link thana's adminstrate room, so that if customer ask anything about the suite, admin can click on to the button to view what are the things provided in there..

also not to forget the checkboxes..
checkboxes under the "Booked room by"..
3 checkboxes, which are, 'fax', 'email', 'phone'..
the admin will need to checked the correct box, each time when a new reservation is make..
for example, which the customer call in to reserve room, the working staff will need to checked the PHONE checkbox..
same for the other two..

this is what i have do to improve on my own UI..

things that i wanna improve on....
:( how to make the page link up, but at the same time not pop out of another window?? :(
:( still trying to figure out how to do the Use case model n descriptions!! :(

tired, wanni

My questions on my part!! (Reservation Room)

can we change the words on the buttons to picture/icon/image??
how to link my page with thana?? (hyperlink at the side of the type of suite??)
credit card update, can i retrieve my date, if i put TEXTBOX instead of label??
cause i was thinking, if i can put textbox instead of label, den if the customer got any changes to his/her card, the admin staff can immed. change for them..
by keying in the new card information and stuff..

i have put in the type of reservation on top of the resort pass.. (DONE)

this are the questions i have in mind for now..
do comment on it n share with me your views..

thanks, wanni
