That is right, the way that your front-end and back-end interact can change how good the efficiency of your system is the biggest thing is that we need to make sure that our front end has spaces for each one of these fields. the front end is the way your user interacts with your database....period. If there isn't a screen to enter grades, then that student is not going to be entering a grade. On the flip side, you can't see that your system is going to generate a schedule for a student and not have the fields in the back end, it just doesn't work. Thinking about an application is very much an HCI (human computer interaction) way of thinking. Make sure you include a "clean" page of the screen you are designing as well as a "marked up" version that shows which field the text field (or other thing) is related to as well as a description…arrow_forwardAt Riverside Financial, where you work as a project manager, you have been asked to conduct user training sessions during the implementation phase for a new information system. You must develop a specific schedule for the tasks (the estimated task duration for each is shown in parentheses): First, you need to send an e-mail message to all department managers announcing the training sessions (3 days). After the e-mail message goes out, two tasks can begin at the same time: You can develop the training material (7 days) and confirm arrangements for the training facility you plan to use (15 days). As soon as the training material is complete, you can work on two tasks at once: Arrange to have copies of handout material printed (7 days) and develop a set of PowerPoint slides (8 days). When the PowerPoint slides are ready, you conduct a practice training session with the instructor who will assist you (3 days). Finally, when the practice session is over, the handout material is ready, and…arrow_forward
