Menu-Driven Interface

A menu-driven interface consists of a sequence of screens that users navigate by selecting

options from lists, such as menus (Falk). The simplicity and user-friendly features of menu-

driven interfaces make it easier for users to navigate through programs and devices they interact

with daily. It can use different formats and graphics where one selection leads to the next menu

screen until the desired outcome is achieved.

The purpose of the paper is to explore the user dialog strategies used by a menu-driven

interface, highlight why menu-driven interfaces continue to be popular in the contemporary time,

suggest three strategies for making menu-driven interfaces visually appealing in the modern

computing environment, and give alternatives for menu-driven interfaces design and why these

substitutes can be designed to ultimately replace all menu-driven interfaces.

User Dialog Strategies

Accordingly, most information system interface designs use menu-driven interfaces that

depend on the user's collaboration with the menus as the primary dialog configuration. The

menu-driven interface employs different approaches that enable usability of the system,

including text, language, signs, and pictures, as well as other communication modes that enable

input and output channels (Falk). An ideal dialog system comprises tools and technologies,

including input recognizer, output reader, language comprehension, conversation manager, menu

bars, toolbars, and icons. To demonstrate, menu-driven interfaces use application-directed dialog

which the user has no much control over (Soegaard). The user is prompted with a menu system

with limited options to select from or a form-filling illustration where the system displays on-

screen choices for the user to fill in text or caption indicating the type of data to be entered from
