Identify users with authentication schemesPasswords & user IdsBiometric devices (finger prints, signatures, retina prints, voice prints…)Guidelines for Structuring Data EntryDon’t enter data that already is in computer or can be calculatedUser defaults, lists, & table lookupsIdentify units ($, dozens)Place captions adjacent to fieldsProvide formatting examplesAutomatically justify data entriesProvide helpBe consistent and adhere to standardsGuidelines for Controlling Data Input1. Class or composition 2. Combination controls3. Expected value / Reasonableness controls4. Completeness controls (missing data)5. Range controls 6. Pictures/templatesGuidelines for providing feedback1.
