The Form Reports:

The Form Reports: Some routine (particularly periodic) reports have standard content
requirements, and can therefore be preprinted with appropriate format and headings, and
filled in when the need arises. Often companies develop forms to facilitate the periodic
reporting of information such as sales, inventory, number of transactions, and so forth.
General principles of form design: The purpose served by a form is to ensure an effective
transfer of necessary information.
A good form is one which is designed so that information can be easily:
 Transmitted
 Interpreted
 Filed (size, etc.)
 Retrieved
Form design should focus on:
 Content
 Layout
 Make-up
 Printing
 Paper
