A large application system will allow the user to perform many different functions. The user must choose from a large number of options. It is important to use the computer to organize and arrange the objects of the application system so that they are easy to find and to understand. Menus provide a convenient means of doing so.
Every task in a proposed system should be allocated to a menu as part of the design process. Housekeeping and system administration functions should be included—you may need to create extra menus to accommodate such functions. An object-based design approach can be used to determine which menus are appropriate. Menus to manipulate each object type should be provided, as well as menus for similar operations across different object types.
