| The main ISS Help System window. |
Principal end-user features:
- Selecting a topic would display information about that topic.
- Selecting an arrow
would expand the topic, making its subtopics visible.
Supervisor features: if the user were logged in as a supervisor, then:
- Selecting the pencil
would put the system into Edit
Mode.
- Selecting the Users icon
would allow the supervisor to see the system as clerks
(non-supervisors) saw it.
Architecture:
- The content was drawn in real time from a relational
database. Supervisors could edit the data, and other
users could see the changes immediately.
- The hierarchical display, on the left, was composed of three primary
components and a number of secondary components, all of which were
independently reusable, programmable, and data-driven.
