Input Design Objectives The quality of system input determines the quality of system output. Well-designed input objectives: Effectiveness. Accuracy. Ease of use. Consistency. Simplicity. Attractiveness. Kendall & Kendall

Input Design Objectives Control the amount of input: minimise the quantity of data for input (labour costs) and avoid duplication in data collection (several forms containing the same data) and data entry. Avoid processing delays (lengthy credit approval) due to extra steps in data preparation and entry (computing sales totals), by designing appropriate procedures, source documents, turnaround documents and data entry methods. Kendall & Kendall

Input Design Objectives Avoid errors in data: ensure accuracy through controlling the amount of input, designing forms that ensure accurate completion, selecting the appropriate data entry medium, and using input validation techniques. Keep the process simple: do not include too many error controls. Kendall & Kendall

Data Capture Capture variable data: data items that change for each transaction (customer name) identification data: key (product code) DO NOT capture constant data: data that is the same for each entry details that the system can retrieve: (product name) details that the system can calculate: (total cost) Kendall & Kendall

Form Design make forms easy to fill out: to reduce errors, speed completion, facilitate data entry form flow (top to bottom, left to right) form sections: logical grouping of info form captions: Captions tell the person completing the form what to put on a blank line, space, or box. ensure that forms meet the intended purpose: effectiveness (specialty forms) assure accurate completion: (row & column totals) keep forms attractive: uncluttered, enough space to fill, fonts and lineweights to separate categories ask each item of data only once Kendall & Kendall

Seven Sections of a Form The seven sections of a form are: Heading. Identification and access. Instructions. Body. Signature and verification. Totals. Comments. Kendall & Kendall

Seven Sections of a Form Kendall & Kendall

Caption Types Captions may be one of the following: Line caption, putting the caption on the same line or below the line. Boxed caption, providing a box for data instead of a line. Vertical check off, lining up choices or alternatives vertically. Horizontal check off, lining up choices or alternatives horizontally. Kendall & Kendall

Caption Types Kendall & Kendall

Attractive Forms To be more attractive, forms should look uncluttered, and elicit information in the expected order. Aesthetic forms or usage of different fonts and line weights within the same form can help make it more attractive. Kendall & Kendall

Computer Form Design Software Numerous microcomputer form design software is available. Features of electronic form design software: Ability to design paper, electronic, or Web- based forms. Form design using templates. Form design by cutting and pasting familiar shapes and objects. Kendall & Kendall

Computer Form Design Software Easy Form Software, Smart Draw http://www.smartdraw.com/specials/forms.asp?id=10487 Adobe LiveCycle Designer, http://www.adobe.com/products/server/adobedesigner/main.html Form Developers Toolkit, University of Minnesota, (evaluation and comparison of some form design software) http://www.fpd.finop.umn.edu/groups/ppd/documents/appendix/tools_Software.cfm Kendall & Kendall

Computer Form Design Software (Continued) Features of electronic form design software Facilitates completion through the use of software. Enables broadcasting of electronic forms. Permits sequential routing of forms. Assists form tracking. Encourages automatic delivery and processing. Establishes security for electronic forms. Kendall & Kendall

Controlling Business Forms Controlling forms include: Making sure that each form in use fulfills its specific purpose. Deciding on reproducing forms in the most economical way Establishing stock control and inventory procedures that make forms available when needed, at the lowest possible cost Preventing duplication of information collected and the forms that collect it. Designing effective forms. Kendall & Kendall

Input Validation Checking the transaction: to ensure that the transaction is not invalid (incomplete, unauthorised, out of order) Batch Controls: batch size, batch count, batch totals Transaction Validation: inventory system should not accept the addition of a new item with the same stock number as an existing one. transactions having no relation to the system may also be submitted (payroll transaction to inventory system) acceptable input may be submitted by an unauthorised user Kendall & Kendall

Input Validation Sequence Tests: serial numbers to identify missing items (cheques) the order of transactions (deposits vs withdrawals) Completeness Tests: automatic guidance in POS systems; keyboard locks or systems waits indefinitely until correct data are entered. Kendall & Kendall

Input Validation Checking the transaction data Existence Tests: some fields are designed not to be left blank (quantity of item in a sales order), whilst others can be empty (patient insurance number) Limit and Range Tests: to verify the reasonabless of data. Limit tests validate either minimum or maximum values; range tests validate both. Kendall & Kendall

Input Validation Combination Tests: validate that several items jointly have acceptable values; the value of one element determines whether other values are correct. Duplicate Processing: process data more than once, either on different equipment or in different ways. Kendall & Kendall

Input Validation Modifying the Transaction Data Automatic Correction of Errors Check Digits: transcription errors transposition errors Kendall & Kendall
