• Keep it simple avoid complex and multi-layered
  data entry screens whenever possible
• Build data entry screens to work the way data
  entry clerks actually enter the data
• Where possible, build compatibility with other
  data collection systems (e.g., NEDSS, etc.)

know for certain what they dont want."Manubays

• Use drop-down lists, auto-fill and other time
  savers whenever possible (automatically calculate
  totals, statistics, etc.)
• Build error checking routines into the software
• Use lists to prevent spelling errors and similar
  problems
