Once you have created your mockups, you want to share them and discuss them. You can do that by exporting your project into a MS Word document, for example.

Create and Annotate Screens *

Here we have four screens from the “Employee Database” example. Three screens belong to the same scenario (“Check employee”):

  • Login
  • Find employee
  • Employee details

 

The fourth screen is a homepage for the “Employee Database” website:

  • Employee DB Homepage

 

Below are the screens. Click on any of them to see a screen in full size.

Login screen:

Find Employee screen:

Employee Details screen:

Employee Website web-page:

Note that each screen has a comment that’s marked as a “General” comment; this tells MockupScreens that this comment is not related to a particular widget but to the whole screen.

Export Project to PDF *

We have all we need to generate a specification. Let’s create a PDF:

  1. Choose Export submenu from the “File” main menu.
  2. Choose “Export to PDF”.
  3. Set export options like shown here:

 

Finally, save the generated PDF file. It opens automatically.

Generated PDF *

We have created PDF that has 6 pages all together (you can download it here).

  • Cover page: date, title, etc.
  • Table of Contents.
  • One page (or more if single page is not enough for all the annotations) for each screen. It consists of:
    • Screen name for a heading.
    • General comments (if any) below.
    • Screenshot itself.
    • Comments, displayed as a bullets below the screen.

 

Here are all the pages. Click on each to see it in full size.
