And I've been thinking about the following solution: you draw both
parent and child on the same wireframe, but in different layers, and
then draw their notes, in another two layers. Then you switch the
notes layers parent/child. In this way you can show both parent with
preview of the child and the

Have been keeping an eye on this thread and was thinking of a real
world example of usability != predictabilty.
You walk up to a door way, you put out your hand to push in the door
and it opens automatically.
I had predicted that I would have to push in the door, but was nicely

Oleg,
Not a plain grey box, but close to it - you should be able to strike a
balance; all of that extra detail is contained in the separate
representation. An actual object library can also be used if your
wireframing supports them. Although I suspect no matter what software you
utilise, synchroni
Thanks Steve,
Your answer is clear except that I don't quite understand how you
technically avoid the problem that a child panel wireframe, contained
in another drawing document, and copied to the parent wireframe in
scenarios 1, 2, 3, can get out of sync when its source is modified? Do

Oleg,
One thing I try to aim for in my documentation is that each page has the
same density of information. So where I have a screen that includes a lot of
complexity, I would look to break that complexity off into separate pages
with references on the parent. That principle would apply to your sc
I'm looking for the current best practices of managing complexity of
wireframes.
What do you do in the following situations?
1. A page includes multiple panels, each of them is quite complex, with many
details and notes. How to show all child panels and their notes without
cluttering the parent

Hi, what kind of portal are you building? Corporate intranet or

Websphere Portal)? Or is it custom
I think there's a place for both -- one has high interactive fidelity
and the other has high visual fidelity. I'm toying with the name
"clickframes" as an alternative, so the business folks I meet with
don't end up with the wrong expectations.

While obviously predictability is wanted most of the time, I feel like
this formulation would lead one to making more explicit (ie wordier)
and more consistent (ie conventional) designs.
The designs I admire most have neither of these qualities. The

Conceptually, I can agree that usability is a continuum (or a scale,
as Jared puts it). To the extent that a definition is possible, for
the reasons Chauncey points out, I think we _must_ define it.
Otherwise we have all the credibility of the ancient alchemist,
