Design considerations
1
Start by planning your database design on paper. Decide what will
happen when each button is selected, and give users a way to get back
to the beginning.
1 If your solution will be run with a touch screen, use large buttons and
allow space between buttons.
1 Try to limit the number of options available on one screen.
1 Preview mode disables buttons; make sure you create a script to
return you to Browse mode by choosing Continue or pressing the
Enter key.
Important Menu commands and key equivalents are not available in
kiosk mode. All activities normally performed with menu commands,
such as closing solution files, switching layouts, creating or deleting
records, or executing scripts, must be performed from a button or a script
attached to a button.
