Entry forms: SKILLBUILDER: ENTRY FORMS • used to collect information in a compressed format • used to present information in a short, efficient format • people usually act on the information conveyed in forms • heavy use of abbreviations, acronyms, references, and form conventions (which must be taught since they apply to most forms) • much of what is communicated is shorthand • usually highly structured • many forms are not well designed or user-friendly Entry form structure (layout): May be 1 or more information categories (columns) going across each section (not just 2 as indicated) TITLE OF FORM AND / OR ORGANIZATION’S CONTACT INFORMATION (hints about form purpose) Instructions to User (optional) Instructions may be located elsewhere on form or be attached to relevant cells Section Title (optional) (usually sections are obvious due to layout – spacing, boxes, heavy lines, numbers, etc.) ¾ Prompt or question ¾ Prompt or question ¾ Place for response ¾ Place for response Section Title (optional) (usually sections are obvious due to layout – spacing, boxes, heavy lines, numbers, etc.) ¾ Prompt or question ¾ Prompt or question ¾ Place for response ¾ Place for response Section Title (optional) (usually sections are obvious due to layout – spacing, boxes, heavy lines, numbers, etc.) ¾ Prompt or question ¾ Prompt or question ¾ Place for response ¾ Place for response Etc. Signature Section, Date and Legal Implications (Optional)
About entry forms: • people fill out forms and they also read forms • information is organized into categories or sections (information that is somehow related) • sections may or may not be labeled – labels help us to understand what is required • sometimes section titles are printed down the left hand side of the form instead of at the top of each section • may be directions to tell you how to fill out the form • shaded boxes usually mean that we should not fill out that cell or section OR that the information is very important (maybe a total at the bottom of a column of numbers) • character separators may be used to divide words into separate letters OR to separate dates into month, day, year _/_/_/_/ • response modes tell the user how to fill out the form – fill in the blanks, circle the correct answer, cross out irrelevant data, tick boxes, write in boxes, etc. • forms are designed so they can be mass produced and filled out by hand • many forms can now be filled in electronically Before filling out any form: • always determine the purpose of the form (title usually helps) – this dictates word choice, level of detail, level of formality, level of perfection, tone, etc. Purpose Of Forms (a form can have several purposes) Examples to collect information order forms, application forms, medical histories to draw conclusions / make decisions customs form, assessment form, SWOT analysis form to document events time card, accident report, medical chart, itinerary, schedule to check or integrate information bills and invoices, claim forms, treatment option form to provide directions operating procedures, recipes, process directions to control a process inspection checklist, production plan, inventory control form • look through the form to determine what is required – tasks involved, information required, entry style preferred, etc. • read all directions carefully (e.g. may say to write in block letters or not to fill in a section if a certain condition exists) • look at the layout and identify sections • look at design features such as font sizes, bolding, italics, white spaces, etc. • do all sections – if you need information to complete a question and you do not have it with you, flag the section so you will not forget to complete it at a later date (use a sticky note) • always ask yourself, “How will information I give be used?” and “Who will be reading this form?” • be aware of the 24 hour clock if you are asked to use it • determine if there are legal implications around completing and signing the form
