A user interface (UI) should be effective and efficient, support work routines and let end-users control appropriate features such as access to common tasks. The overall design of the IBS User Interface has been developed in accordance with extensive research and proven theories. Functionality is accessed more easily, which improves workflow and helps users feel more comfortable.
User efficiency is directly affected by how easily and quickly you or your employees are able to perform tasks, navigate an application or access the information you require. The IBS User Interface has been designed and developed with this concept in mind. It offers specific functionality aimed at improving usability and interaction when working with business processes.
FUNCTIONALITY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
The IBS User Interface is very easy to work with. The neat and aesthetically pleasing screen design helps to make applications more intuitive by indicating which fields should be updated and which actions are available. Users have quick access to their favorite inquiries and functions.
Help on hand –
Comprehensive help text, in HTML format, describes the functions of individual fields and their impact on business processes and routines. Help text includes glossaries, search fields and indexes so that your users get quick answers to their questions.
The IBS User Interface design makes it easy to retrieve the correct information through superior navigation tools and gain a good overview of business processes. The design also helps to enhance performance by making all information available and easy to source. Users have several options for help in finding menus to work with – such as searches using free text, via a menu tree structure or software commands. Individual menus can also be added as favorites at the stroke of a key, meaning that frequently used programs and inquires are always easily available.
Easy navigation –
Keyboard-based navigation – a real timesaver – is featured throughout the UI and provides the ability for users to tab through both input fields and dialog buttons. A UI needs to be a dynamic tool that is comfortable and familiar to users. In light of this, IBS software lets users change many of the settings to reflect current trends within UI design, including MS Windows.
In addition, the interface is tightly compatible with other applications, meaning that text can be copied, cut and pasted to other software applications such as the MS Office suite.
DYNAMIC ADAPTATION TO PROCESSES AND WORK TASK
Some tasks (especially customer interactive processes) have dramatically increased in volume and become more complex. These processes require both tailored and sequenced information to meet specific needs that directly affect the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. This drives the need for improved usability. The IBS User Interface can easily be adapted to each specific installation's need.

This flexibility means that you can tailor the system to work in a way that allows you to better fulfill your tasks.
This approach offers even more far-reaching value, as the interface can accommodate future growth or the changing needs of your processes.
The IBS User Interface includes a complete toolbox that allows the UI to be adapted to each installation's need, all in order to perform work tasks as effectively as possible. In other words, the system has been designed with users and user tasks in focus.
The IBS User Interface allows you to tailor the UI structure. This means that you can work with many open views at the same time, all aimed at a specific task. You can arrange any number of views simply by dragging and dropping them. If you need many views to be able to complete a work task, you can place views behind each other, or next to each other.
If you place a view on top of another, tab folders are created automatically to make navigation easy. You can also easily change the contents of a view by dragging and dropping fields within a column.
SIMPLE TO IMPLEMENT
The IBS User Interface is developed with Java techniques. The thin client is Java-based and works directly with IBS Enterprise database. The UI can be installed and updated through URLs.
SUMMARY

- Easy to learn and remember. Every step is understandable and direct, with visual or information feedback
