This part of IS0 9241 provides recommendations for command dialogues used to accomplish typical office tasks using
visual display terminals (VDTs). Command dialogues are sequences of instructions provided by the user to the system
which, when processed, result in associated system actions. Users input (from recall, rather than selecting from a
menu) complete or abbreviated command phrases (e.g. mnemonics, letters, function keys, hot keys in the order
required by the command language syntax and the computer performs the activities initiated by the command(s) and
their associated parameters.
Interface design depends upon the task, the user, the environment, and the available technology. Consequently,
IS0 9241-15 cannot be applied without a knowledge of the design and use context of the interface and it is not
intended to be used as a prescriptive set of rules to be applied in their entirety. Rather, it assumes that the designer
has proper information available concerning task and user requirements and understands the use of available
technology (this may require consultation with a qualified ergonomics professional as well as empirical testing with real
users).
IS0 9241-15 applies to the use of command dialogues, either in conjunction with other dialogues (e.g. menus, direct
manipulation) or as the primary dialogue technique (e.g. in the case of ¿dumb terminals¿ or where high speed is
required in a particular application). In addition, this part of IS0 9241 provides recommendations for those ¿key¿
commands (i.e. function keys and hot keys) which represent commands within a command dialogue. If the command
functions are evident from the nature of their representation (e.g. pictorial icons) and invoking these functions does not
require memory on the part of the user, this would not be considered a command dialogue according to IS0 9241-15.
Commands can be accessed through other dialogue techniques (e.g. (...abbreviated)
