What is This Axure Tool ? Axure tools is one of the best tool which is been used for creating screen
flows and prototype
word specifications.
Axure RP enables application designers to create
wireframes, flow diagrams, prototypes, and specifications for applications and web sites faster and easier than creating static mockups with their current tools.
Used by professionals including business analysts, information architects, usability experts, product managers, and IT consultants around the world from Fortune 1000 companies to independent agencies, Axure RP has become an essential tool for successful application design.
Wireframes: Rapidly design user interfaces in a familiar
drag and drop environment with features like snap to grid and zoom.
Sitemap: Use the sitemap to
organize and navigate the pages in the design.
Widgets: Use
built-in widgets such as buttons, images, and text panels to design your wireframes.
Easily edit widget properties like font, color, and radio group using the wireframe editor, menus, and toolbars.
Masters: Save time and
make global changes by using masters. A change to a master is reflected everywhere the master is used. Lock masters in the background to function as wireframe
templates with common elements such as headers, footers, and navigation. Create a collection of
custom widgets comprised of one or more built-in widgets.
Annotations: Specify functionality of widgets on the wireframes by
adding annotations. Customize the annotation fields to fit the needs of your project.
Interactions: Define the behavior of widgets on the wireframes by
adding interactions. Add basic
links or advanced links to open pages in
popups or
inline frames. Design
dynamic or AJAX interactions using dynamic panels.
Use advanced features to define
conditions based on field values for demonstrating conditional flow. Dynamically
set values on widgets like the text in a text panel or the checkstate of a checkbox.
Add Notes:
Add page notes to collect page level descriptions.
Flow Diagrams: Flow diagrams are managed in the Sitemap. Set the
diagram type to "Flow" to mark a page as a flow diagram.
Flow Widgets: Use built-in
flow widgets like rounded rectangles and diamonds found in the Flow library to design your flow diagram. Easily edit flow shape properties like font and color using the wireframe editor, menus, and toolbars.
Connectors: Switch to connector mode to
draw connectors between flow widgets. Easily edit connector properties like color and pattern using the toolbar.
Reference Pages: Easily
assign a reference page to flow widgets to automatically link flow shapes to pages in the prototype.
Protyping
Prototyping is an effective way to simplify documentation, elicit increased user input, identify missing requirements earlier, and minimize extraneous requirements. Reams of documentation can be captured in annotated, interactive screens that grab the attention of stakeholders and users. With Axure RP Pro, creating interactive, browser-based prototypes is as simple as a click of a button and does not require writing a single line of code!
HTML Prototypes: View and
interact with prototypes in popular web browsers
without installing a player.
Publish the prototype to a web server for clients to view with ease or
distribute the prototype in a single HTML Help file (.chm).
Sitemaps: Navigate your design in the prototype with the
sitemap.
Page Notes:
View page notes as you click from page to page.
Interactive Interfaces: Click through
functional links in your prototype. Interact with widgets supporting
Click, MouseEnter, and MouseLeave events. Demonstrate
rich interfaces or AJAX functionality by showing, hiding, and changing the state of dynamic panels.
Annotations:
View annotations in the prototype by clicking note icons next to annotated widgets.
Specifications
Microsoft Word Specifications: View the generated specifications in Microsoft Word.
Preface and Postcript Documents: Add preface and postscript documents to include additional content like a title page or an appendix.
Table of Contents: Navigate the document using the table of contents. Select the pages and masters to include in the specification.
Configure: Configure the page notes, screenshots, annotations, and interactions in the specification to fit the audience.
