Hi..
What's the difference between a purpose and a need? 

# data[].attributes.body
Hey- I was just wondering regarding Friday's test whether or not we'll be tested on information processes- I don't remember covering that in class or is it me?

# data[].attributes.body
Under 'technical elements' we have to include a script - does that mean  the actual flash script e.g. goto and play(2) etc.. for a technical bit we have...?

# data[].attributes.body
Because we're having a party to celebrate finishing Year 11!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Don't forget to bring in DVD's to watch!! And $5 for pizzas on Wednesday. 

# data[].attributes.body
XY. Instead just type something like 3-15 or "various" or "drop down box" or somethink

# data[].attributes.body
should there be any blank spaces in the field size column?

# data[].attributes.body
When you're talking about blank spaces I'm assuming you're talking about the data format column? If so, yes.

# data[].attributes.body
Ms Banks, in the data dictionary, I have lots of blank spaces because I used the lookup wizard a lot. Is that OK?

# data[].attributes.body
sorry for the spam.
*...(when you mergo to adobe pdf)...

# data[].attributes.body
ou would normally and it saved one but Ms Banks only requested one template and one complete merge thing... Wait... did i misinterpret that? Because it only

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah I think I had the same problem. Did it look like it was converting and at the end something about how it just couldn't (when yo)? I just saved as pdf, as y

# data[].attributes.body
alternatively, you can also do it via file-save as, but this sometimes freezes the computer

# data[].attributes.body
if you open the doc as a Word doc, click on the Acrobat tab and then click on the create pdf button.

# data[].attributes.body
What if they just WON'T be converted to pdfs? (for some unknown reason)

# data[].attributes.body
Olivia, in regards to the porfolio question, yes, I think that word docs have to be converted to pdfs 

# data[].attributes.body
sorry Olivia, I just saw your post. if the switchboard macros don't run automatically don't worry, it's not an essential criteria anyway. 

# data[].attributes.body
do all the documents have to be converted into pdfs before being put into the portfolio or are word docs fine?

# data[].attributes.body
Data validation would occur in the data format, data size and data types so you don't really need to do more (validation wise that is)

# data[].attributes.body
Do validation rules go under field size? It's not really the same thing but it is sort of related.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not too sure if you have to add the pictures separately. You'll have to experiment with that one, sorry!

# data[].attributes.body
so change documentation into pdf in acrobat pro 9 and adding the database. and also, with the pictures we used, do we also have to add them in?

# data[].attributes.body
No no no Jenny :) what she means is compiling it in Adobe Prof 9 as a portfolio that then gets burnt onto a CD. Does that make better sense?

# data[].attributes.body
What does rimjhim mean about putting it into a portfolio instead of putting our database and documentation on the CD. isn't that what we meant to be doing?

# data[].attributes.body
whatever you want to add to the switchboard is fine Rimjhim

# data[].attributes.body
absolutely everything goes into the portfolio. Xue Yin, scan it if your desperate. 

# data[].attributes.body
Also, do you expect us to link everything to the switchboard, or only stuff we want to, and you can go view everything else from the side menu thing..?

# data[].attributes.body
oh what..ok so we hand in a pdf and a db file

# data[].attributes.body
Actually nevermind. It doesn't take long to do it in word.

# data[].attributes.body
hi rimjhim!!!!!!
that's what i thought too, but apparently not....

# data[].attributes.body
May I scan it since I've already started?

# data[].attributes.body
the Data Dictionary should be completed in a word doc and then you can save it as a PDF

# data[].attributes.body
Data format is only needed for things like the date, time and such. But if you want it to be perfect, click onto the link above and see what the BOS says

# data[].attributes.body
Thank You:)
also, for data format, if it's currency, are you meant to put $ in it, or just the #s?
because the example doesn't have the $, but my record does.

# data[].attributes.body
Um, you just link all the files onto it. It works on mine. I dunno.
Does hand write mean type? or hand write hand write...?

# data[].attributes.body
How do you put a database in a portfolio? I thought we had to hand write the data dictionary.

# data[].attributes.body
@Vivian and Willow,
Really..? I though we put everything on the portfolio.

# data[].attributes.body
Xue Yin can hand it in for you Vivian. Just have something in writing that you can sign stating that you are giving her authority to hand it in. 

# data[].attributes.body
Only if you're desperate Rimjhim. You really shouldn't have any problems though. 

# data[].attributes.body
Just in case our portfiolio stuff's up, can we put a copy of the database + documentation on the cd anyway....?

# data[].attributes.body
Also, it is just the documentation, mail merge and data dictionary that goes on adobe right?

# data[].attributes.body
can come back in the afternoon, but it might be like at the end or after lunch.
and i know i said i'd hand it in today, but i didn't finish completely :)

# data[].attributes.body
ms bankssssssss
is it  alright if i give my cd to xue yin tomorrow morning to give to you? 
because i have to go somewhere, but if i absolutely have to, i 

# data[].attributes.body
When the database is opened, are the switchboards and macros meant to run automatically? Also, for anyone who's reading this, I asked about data format before

# data[].attributes.body
Also, can multiple values in records be entered with commas between them?

# data[].attributes.body
hi ms banks, i think other people had this problem too, but Access doesnt let me change the horizontal length of my switchboard, so it looks too wide

# data[].attributes.body
Yes Rimjhim, they're the same thing in this instance. We'll get more indepth next year. So, for now treat them as the same.

# data[].attributes.body
Ms Banks, my switchboard isn't updating the details that I added. Do you have any idea why??

# data[].attributes.body
Is Database system the same thing as a db management system. (In documentation they say benefits of database systems...)

# data[].attributes.body
fictional yes, explanation of relevance no. 

# data[].attributes.body
Hi ms banks, just quickly, our organisation can be fictional right? and do we have to explain the relevance of our Mail merge in our documentation?

# data[].attributes.body
for the mail merge section include the template and one of the completed merged pages

# data[].attributes.body
Not all areas will require input in data format. some will be blank. check out the answers I gave Olivia on the far left of the board

# data[].attributes.body
Also, what if the slash is the opposite of / in the data format part? Does it matter if i just did /. Thankyou

# data[].attributes.body
What happens if you have a lookup wizard thingy???

# data[].attributes.body

MS BANKS!!!!! What is required in a data dictionary? (This is my first time on wall wisher! COOL!)

# data[].attributes.body
yes the records must exist in both tables to have a working relationship

# data[].attributes.body
we discussed 1 to many in class. That's where you might say have one doctor that has many patients.

# data[].attributes.body
only the doctors id would be necessary cause then you would make a relationshiip to join with the doctors table

# data[].attributes.body
some criteria types, macro - the macros you used. ok i think i get it now..sort of.
Tables-how you made them + some examples of design types.

# data[].attributes.body
 What does 'general' mean? Does that mean I don't talk about each individual table/query/record etc, but tables as a whole. So for queries do you talk about 

# data[].attributes.body
table have to be present onthe field table of the 2nd table? and can you only make relationships with ID fields? and what is 1 to many?

# data[].attributes.body
Ok cool. For the documentation....what is the approximate number of pages you expect...?(excluding mailmerge and data dictionaries...)

# data[].attributes.body
table, or both the ID and the doctors first and last name?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Ms Banks, as an example, if there was patient table and it had a field for their corresponding doctor, would you put only the doctor ID's in the patients tab

# data[].attributes.body
field have to be present on the seconf field?

# data[].attributes.body
Also with data base relationships, for example if your linking a field on one table, to a field on another table, does all the info on the records on the first 

# data[].attributes.body
Hi ms banks, can you have many foreign ID's in one table? and can their be more than one of the same foreign ID number (in that table)

# data[].attributes.body
Just a general discussion of how you designed it, what you used, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
That's fine Rimjhim, we're mainly worried about whether or not it works

# data[].attributes.body
With data format, there will be a lot of blank areas. You just have to do it for things like: date dd/mm/yyyy or time mm/hh. Do you get the idea?

# data[].attributes.body
For the data dictionaries, in the data format column do we put say !\(90") "9999\ 0000;0;- or (--) ---- ----? (this is for landline phone number)

# data[].attributes.body
Also, how detailed does the documentation have to be (design features)? What do we talk about in the design bit...?
Thank You!

# data[].attributes.body
Well, Miss Banks said the template and one example, (last time i asked...) but you can ask her I guess.

# data[].attributes.body
MISS BANKKSSS!!!! .. hi ahh... for the mail merge are we suppose to include the template or the finished products or templates with a few examples[and how many]

# data[].attributes.body
Does our database have to make sense. Is it ok to have 22 store branches, and only 15 employees in your database. Or do you expect 100 employees, members
 etc.

# data[].attributes.body
on the list, it says you need•At least two well presented forms which must include a graphic, a list box or a combo-box or an option group. do we only need one?

# data[].attributes.body
sorry Jenny. what's dadada and ors??? is it data and ours? If so, you don't have to include all of the fields. you can stipulate if you wish

# data[].attributes.body
 for the requirements for database, the one about forms, it says you need to include dadada... so is it only one of them because there are alot of ors

# data[].attributes.body
Wendy. In regards to modulation/demodulation, all you need to know is that it is what a modem does and it changes the analog signal to a digital signal

# data[].attributes.body
No, that seems about right Rimjhim. Just make sure you have a couple of pens in case one runs out. A sharpener would probably be a good idea. 

# data[].attributes.body
just checking we need..
Black pens.
Eraser
Pencil.
Water bottle.(Clear)
(Sharpener??)
All stuff must be in clear plastic thingo.
Have I missed anything?
