declickification
the process of streamlining and rendering
less time consuming the complex steps involved in navigating within the virtual environment of various types of electronic interfaces whose designs are heavily reliant upon drop-downs, pop up
windows, text field data completion and other time consuming actions. These interfaces are all put forth as being more efficient mechanisms of managing, storing and retrieving information, but in
reality take more time to negotiate due to all the clicks and data entry steps that these design features require of the
user. Declickification mechanisms include removing or bypassing unnecessary steps by finding more efficient ways of achieving the same
end, by using macro's to automate repetitive monotonous data input and navigation steps,or by eliminating steps all together because they are deemed of no use or value to the
system goals.
