For example, a user may post helpful information about use of a system function. In addition, user feedback gives technical staff information about experiences, concerns, and requirements of end users and may help them in planning system improvements. For example, the number of comments related to a topic may help technical staff to prioritize system enhancements. Technical staff can use feedback as a means of keeping users informed about the progress of enhancements and fixes. The heart of the proposed user feedback system is an electronic forum, within which users and technical staff will post and respond to messages.
Users have hot key or menu option access to the forum.
They may browse, view, and print all messages, and may add and edit their own. Users may link responses to particular messages on the forum or to a particular menu option, data entry screen or data field. They may view, list, validate, and edit data in the work table before it is is moved into the database tables. The database manager alone will be able to import authority file data. A user can select specimen or collection records for export.
