Input Design and Output Design
INPUT DESIGN
The input design is the link between the information system and the user. It
comprises the developing specification and procedures for data preparation and
those steps are necessary to put transaction data in to a usable form for processing
can be achieved by inspecting the computer to read data from a written or printed
document or it can occur by having people keying the data directly into the system.
The design of input focuses on controlling the amount of input required,
controlling the errors, avoiding delay, avoiding extra steps and keeping the process
simple. The input is designed in such a way so that it provides security and ease of
use with retaining the privacy. Input Design considered the following things:
OBJECTIVES
3. When the data is entered it will check for its validity. Data can be entered
with the help of screens. Appropriate messages are provided as when needed so
that the user will not be in maize of instant. Thus the objective of input design is to
create an input layout that is easy to follow
OUTPUT DESIGN
A quality output is one, which meets the requirements of the end user and
presents the information clearly. In any system results of processing are
communicated to the users and to other system through outputs. In output design it
is determined how the information is to be displaced for immediate need and also
the hard copy output. It is the most important and direct source information to the
user. Efficient and intelligent output design improves the systems relationship to
help user decision-making.
The output form of an information system should accomplish one or more of the
following objectives.
Convey information about past activities, current status or projections of the
Future.
Signal important events, opportunities, problems, or warnings.
Trigger an action.
Confirm an action.
