The idea behind SmartCenter is a stripped-down access and filing system for the most important files that users can navigate with a minimum of effort. A thin ribbon stays on top of your screen, and it doesn't bother users with the physical organization of storage devices. You can shape the set of drawers and folders to fit the work patterns of each user. Another drawer is Internet, a set of bookmarks that gives you dynamic access to a Web page when you open its folder. Many of the problems for objectors disappear when they add personalized drawers and folders.
Users can drag and drop files to or from the drawers' folders.
This is valuable, since most users want a minimum of disk navigation, and this keeps those most-used folders accessible. We set up a drawer with folders for each of our three main projects, a process that took less than three minutes. If there were awards for user-interface design, the people who crafted SmartCenter would win easily, because the product is not only easy to learn, but a lot of its functions remain under the surface, out of the way. Bring the cursor over the vertical edge of a folder drawer, and the cursor becomes a resizing control, just as it would with any window. The only documentation available for this product is online.
