up-interface-design

To design technology-agnostic interface blueprints for UP systems, define screens, forms, lists, and reports without tying to specific frameworks. The approach outlines six interface units and standard navigation flows to drive implementation.

The six interface units in UP module design are Index/Menu, Data Unit, Multidata Unit, Entry Unit, Selection Unit, and Operation Unit. These units categorize standard screens and functional components across the system.

Visualize navigation flows and CRUD processes for interface design using Mermaid diagrams. The design specifies standard transitions for CRUD, report, and functional processes to map screen-to-screen workflows.

Yes, this interface design approach generates artifacts including field definitions, listing configurations, and form specifications. These outputs provide the necessary guidance to drive subsequent implementation.

Yes, you can use Mermaid flowcharts to document workflows in a UP interface blueprint. The design process applies Mermaid to visualize navigation transitions and functional processes across the defined interface units.

The best way to document a UP interface design is to generate a structured markdown file, such as docs/up/08-interface-design.md. This captures the module's field definitions, navigation diagrams, and interface unit specifications.
