The timing of the CRIOP analysis will be crucial and evaluating this should be given high prioritisation, because; Recommendations concerning the control room are easier to implement if the analysis is performed early in design. Major changes in control room layout will for instance rarely be made after...
...for its “normal” interaction. Problem The main problem when designing a user interface that should be able to handle that the software keyboard comes and goes is how to resize the dialogs. Resizing may just imply adding/adjusting a scroll bar, but often some other adjustments are needed to avoid some parts...
