Design phase: System Design

Please answer ALL the questions listed below.
All answers should be presented according to the instruction and the simulated narrative case in 340_TermProject_Final.pdf
For individual assignment, it is okay to submit only 1 input screen, 1 output screen in dashboard, and 1 output screen as report (a total of 3 designs).
Chapter 8
1.)Design 2 substantively different user interfaces (UI) for input that meet DNA & Your Ancestry’s system requirements as captured in your System Requirements Document. List the system requirement(s) that each of the UIs is designed to meet (be thorough and specific).
These need not be functional but they must follow the principles and guidelines discussed in the textbook and lecture notes. Refer to Figures 8-10 and 8-11 examples of what you need to produce in this question.
You can use PowerPoint, MS Access, or any other application in which to create your UIs. Note that your UIs must look exactly as you would like them to appear in the final IS.
A login screen or main menu screen will not be accepted.
2)For output design, develop at least 2 output screens in dashboard and 2 reports to be printed that meet DNA and Your Ancestry’s system requirements as captured in your System Requirements Document. List the system requirement(s) that each of the UIs is designed to meet.
Dashboard screens and reports must be substantively different.
Populate your UIs with enough dummy (i.e. made up) data so that it illustrates fully the report format to meet DNA & Your Ancestry’s output system requirements.
Use the detailed report in Figure 8-15 as a guideline and make sure that you include all the necessary aspects in all your reports.
Note that in reports, numbers are right-justified; the text is left-justified.
You can use PowerPoint, MS Access, or any other application in which to create your output screens and reports. Note that your output must look exactly as you would like it to be in the final IS. For example, if there are grid lines on your UI I will assume that you intend for the user to see it that way.
Some general tips for the term project on Chapter 8
Don’t forget to list an associated system requirement that each UI is designed to meet in your accompanying text.
A total of 6 designs (2 UI, 2 output screens, and 2 reports) are required for this assignment.
Please submit a word document. You can save your designs as image files, copy and paste images, or insert screenshots of your designs.
Example:
User interfaces – If you had an input system requirements like “An user must enter their names, contact information, and select which service they want to use via web application,” you can create an interface where the user can enter these information and submit it. This interface can display buttons, icons, and form entries.
Output screens – If you selected an output system requirement like, “The new IS must create daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly reports for the employees” (your system requirements should be more specific), an output screen can display a summary of information of their sales or new customers. It can include some charts or plots.
Reports – It can be a table format including texts and figures as you can see from an example in the textbook.
You are designing imaginary screens and reports that meet the system requirements. The designs should display necessary elements. After then, you could focus on creating nice-looking graphics included in your screens, but I do not expect the expert-level graphic designs.
