Subject:RE: Data Entry/Display, Heading Name From:"Newman, Sarah" <snewman -at- bechtel -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 27 Mar 2001 08:37:21 -0600
would you split the
documentation into "Data Entry Fields" and "Display Fields" or would
you
just document each field as it flowed on the screen with the
explanation
describing whether it was display only or data entry?
Kelly, I think I would document each field as it flowed on the screen, but
perhaps set off the data entry field using bold, a different font color, or
something like that.
Also, I'm trying to think of a heading name for the time period in
which
users are allowed to submit data. "Time Period for Submissions"?
(yuck!)
How about "When Can I Submit Data?" or "When Data Can Be Submitted."
