1. Create a detail report that will display all SCR courses in alphabetical order, with the course name and the instructor name in a group header; the Social Security number, name, and telephone number of each current student in the detail section; and the student count in a group footer.
2. Create a switchboard design with control buttons that lead to students, instructors, courses, course schedules, and course rosters. Allow a user to add, update, or delete records in each area. Jesse wants to see storyboards that show the proposed screens.
3. Suggest data validation checks for data entry screens.
4. Create a source document for an SCR mail-in registration form. Also need a design for a Web-based course registration form.

Now that the overall data design is complete, Jesse Baker wants you to work on output and user interface design. You will consider user needs, and apply principles of human-computer interaction to build a user-centered interface that is easy to learn and use. You also will consider data validation checks, source documents, forms, and reports.

SOLUTION

1. A sample report, and its design, might appear as follows:

2. Allow a user to add, update, or delete records in each area. Jesse wants to see storyboards that show the proposed screens.
Come up with a design that is attractive and easy to understand. Lower-level screens should present a consistent design. Sample designs for the main switchboard and a sub-form follow:

Main switchboard:

Student form:

3. It might be recommend several of the data validation checks described on pages 367-368. For example, an existence check would prevent empty data fields; a data type check would prevent inappropriate data entry (such as alphabetic data in the member Number field); and a reasonableness check would set suitable limits.

4. The paper form should follow the
