    I think you’d find Alan Coopers book About Face quite useful. I have the 1st edition of this, and it talks about various postures of an application.

    In your case, a software appliance console is an example of a transient posture application – one where you cannot assume users have prior knowledge or experience. This leads to various decisions – from offering fewer choices, to including more on-screen guidance.

    There’s more to this than I can describe here, go buy, borrow or steal a copy to read yourself.
