What follows are some of the things we think about and do to make Vet's Pet a product we can be proud of. We believe in quality. While some vendors are willing to put out mediocre products to sell at low prices, we would rather put out the highest quality product possible and get a fair price for our efforts. Over time, you will realize that any extra up-front cost spent on a quality product pays for itself many times over in the time and effort saved every day you use it. Experienced users make mistakes.
Inexperienced users make more mistakes.
A good product prevents most mistakes without constantly asking the user if they know what they are doing. Verify each data item as it is being entered into the system. If there is any way for the computer to know that it is incorrect, stop and inform the user why the item can not be accepted. By preventing invalid data from entering the system, you save a lot of time later on in having to go back and fix things and have meaningful information for statistical analysis. Complete and meaningful context sensitive help should be available for every data entry field and every menu item in the system.
