+====== 3.	Ergonomics ======
+In this chapter the general way to use the geoportal's functions is described.
+====== 3.1	Page structure ======
+All the pages are composed of:
+  * **A header** : the horizontal stripe and one or more lines with general functions
+  * **A menu on the left side** : the specific functions of the geoportal
+  * **A principal part** : Static and dynamic information in connection with the actual function
+  * **A footer**
+====== 3.2	Navigation principles ======
+The navigation principles are the same on every site page.
+On the 1st and 2nd level, the navigation is organized in the vertical navigation bar on the left side, with mouse-over effect and highlighting of the active link by means of color change from blue to orange.
+{{ :en:3:gpw001.png }}
+From the 3rd level downwards, navigation is incorporated in the page contents.
+{{:en:3:gpw005.png|}} Every page has an arrow button on the upper right, which leads to the superior level.
+====== 3.3	Presentation of the content pages ======
+The pages generally display a frame with a title composed of:
+  * the function of the superior level
+  * the actual function
+{{:en:3:gpw002.png}}
+On the 1st navigation level, the pages contain a brief presentation of all the 2nd level functions.
+On the 2nd navigation level, the pages contain the specific information for the actual function.
+====== 3.4	Footer ======
+{{ :en:3:gpw003.png }}
+=== Top of the page ===
+By clicking on the link mentioned above, the user can go back to the top of the page.
+=== Other information and copyright ===
+At the bottom of every page, on the right, the following information is displayed:
+  * © Editor
+  * Legal aspects concerning the use of the website
+  * Contacts
+====== 3.5	Languages ======
+{{ :en:3:gpw004.png }}
+The geoportal is multilingual : Luxembourgish, French, German and English are supported. To change the language, click on the corresponding button on the upper left of the page:
+====== 3.6	Paginated lists ======
+{{ :en:3:gpw006.png?700 }}
+All the lists with search results are paginated and contain the information split into different pages. The properties of the list contents are displayed:
+  * Total number of items in the list
+  * Links to the different list pages, where the actual page is displayed in bold characters
+  * Arrows to open the page before, or the next page
+  * A button to display the complete list without pagination
+====== 3.7	Sort ======
+{{ :en:3:gpw007.png?700 }}
+All the lists can be sorted by any of its columns, either in ascending or descending way.
+After being sorted, the list is reinitialized and the first list page is displayed.
+====== 3.8	Tags ======
+{{:en:3:gpw009.png}}
+To clearly present the contents, tags are frequently used.
+Every tag header reacts to clicking. When a new tag is opened, the fields in the actual tag are automatically validated before switching to the new tag.
+====== 3.9	Actions ======
+FIXME
+The different actions that can be done at a certain stage are represented by hypertext links, whose clickable text explains the action.
+The different options are simply separated by the character  .
+Except for the very specific actions, the current actions will generally use the following terms:
+  * **Create** : to create a new entity
+  * **Modify** : to modify an existing entity
+  * **Validate** : to validate and store encoded values
+  * **Cancel** : to disregard the newly encoded values and restore the original values in the fields
+  * **Back** : to go back to the element before or to the upper level
+The text is completed by an indication of the entity on which the function operates. For example "Back to the order list".
+====== 3.10	Colours ======
+{{:en:3:gpw009.png}}
+A simple colour code is used in the interface, to specify the current state:
+  * **Blue** : validated and inactive part
+  * **Orange** : activated part currently undergoing modification
+Note : For tags without any content, the text remains blue and italic, and will not be reactive to clicking.
+====== 3.11	Procedures with multiple steps ======
+{{:en:3:gpw011.png}}
+For complicated procedures with an important number of intermediary actions, the user is guided through different steps like shown in the example.
+The steps already passed and validated are indicated in normal font, the current step in bold font, and the next steps in italic font.
+At every moment, the user can go back one ore more steps by simply clicking on the link of the corresponding step.
+====== 3.12	Warning messages ======
+The geoportal exchanges information with its user. This can be data or information concerning the user's actions.
+===== 3.12.1	Information message =====
+When an action of the user does not give any visible result on the screen, the system shows a message to indicate that the action has been done with success.  For examble, after sending an order, the system shows the following confirmation message:
+{{ :en:3:msg_inf.png }}
+===== 3.12.2	Error message =====
+In case of an error, when entering data, the system alerts the user that some rules have not been respected and specifies the problem that has to be corrected.
+{{ :en:3:msg_err.png }}
+===== 3.12.3	Confirmation request =====
+The user sometimes has to proceed to actions which cannot be reversed. To evitate mistakes with heavy consequences, the system aks for explicit confirmation before proceding.
+This happes in form of a confirmation message to be validated by clicking on the  « OK » button, or the « Cancel » button.
