N2 - A systematic method for designing a menu-tree interface is presented. The method is part of ADISSA, a comprehensive systems analysis and design methodology, which is based on the use of modified hierarchical data flow diagrams (DFD). Thus, the functional structure of the designed menu-tree is consistent with the functional structure and the user-model of the system. The method consists of several steps, beginning with an initial menu-tree derived automatically from DFDs, which is then improved and modified, taking into consideration factors other than functionality. Menu Tree Designer, one of the software tools of ADISSA methodology, supports the designer in all stages of the interface design.
