Progressive Disclosure is a technique used to keep Epic's GUI as straight-forward as possible. It hides data and/or functionality until you need it, or until you explicitly set Epic to show this. There are many examples of progressive disclosure within Epic. This section identifies some of the main ones.
Editors
The separation of read-only and read-write editors.
Editor
Sections
Editor sections are another example. Not only can
you select which ones are automatically
expanded, but you can also choose
which sections to see in read-only editors. Some sections
do not show at all if there is no possible data they can contain - see 'Categories'
next.
Categories
Some types of record can be categorised.
However if categories have not been defined for that type of record, its editors
(both read-only and read-write) will not display a categories section.
Purchase
Items
By default purchase items display a single figure
for their cost. However you can choose to use
categorised costs.
Multi
Currency
By default Epic considers all costs and prices to be in your local currency.
However if you switch Epic
to use multiple currencies the GUI will allow you to select and change the
currencies for costs and prices based on available exchange
rates.
