Axure RP 6 Prototyping Essentials: Advanced Interactions
by
Ezra Schwartz | January 2012 | Architecture & Analysis Content Management WordPress
This article covers some advanced topics such as conditions, raised events, and so on.
In this article by Ezra Schwartz, author of Axure RP 6 Prototyping Essentials, we will cover a set of features such as raised events, conditional logic and variables, introduction to a terminology which is usually associated with programming and suggests complexity. It is understandable if you are not interested in, or are intimidated by, the prospect of coding, and wish to avoid using this set of Axure features as long as possible. You should not.
First, rest assured that no coding is involved. By now, you are familiar with Axure's Interactions and the Case Editor features, which require you only to select from a contextual selection of options and construct interactions by pointing and clicking. The only typing required is the labeling. You will find a similar easy-to-use interface when you use features such as the Condition Builder or simulate "drag and drop".
Secondly, think about some of the terminologies and methods we use in interaction design. We use branching logic to determine use cases, scenarios, and how functionality responds to user interaction under certain conditions. Axure makes it fairly easy to model the logic we need, in order to visualize branching paths, and express it in the interactive prototype.
