Design
This section describes the system that you intend
to use, BEFORE you have created it.
Design of input / output
All
reports, on-screen forms and menus should be drawn (either by hand or on a
graphics package) NEVER PRINT OUT FORMS, REPORTS OR MENUS THAT
YOU HAVE ALREADY CREATED. Data capture forms can be created in their finished
format.
Design new data capture
forms; the chances are that your input requirements are slightly different from
the original system.
Design on-screen input
forms.
Design menus.
Design output formats
(what your printouts and on-screen displays will look like).
Data Checking
and data controls
Describe in general any
data checking techniques that you intend to use. Validation and verification
checks should be explained, justified and, if necessary, applied to the
appropriate input fields.
Data and/or
processing structures
Use the table headings
below to list all the fields required in your table(s) and queries

Description of
specialised features
Describe any macros,
input masks, code or validation routines which you intend to include in your
system.
Hardware and
software
Describe the system configuration
that you intend to use. This should only be a general description of the
components which will be necessary for you to complete the system (Will you
need a printer? Should the system be networked? Are specialised input devices
necessary?). You may wish to include possible specifications including prices.
These may be obtained from the Internet.
