Exam 15: Output Design and Prototyping

Which kind of chart shows the relationship of parts to a whole? It is useful for summarizing percentages of a whole within a single series of data.

Output that is presented as columns of text and numbers is known as:

The use of pictorial charts to convey information in ways that demonstrate trends and relationships not easily seen in tabular output is known as:

Which kind of chart shows one or more series of data over a period of time? It is useful for summarizing and showing data at regular intervals. Each line represents one series or category of data.

New information systems are expected to be message-enabled, that is, to have an interface with electronic mail.

One way to classify outputs is according to their distribution. List three distribution destinations for outputs.______________

_______________________ reports are internal reports that filter data before it is presented to the manager as information. They report on out of the ordinary conditions or conditions that vary from a standard.

Pie charts are useful for showing the relationship between two or more series or categories of data measured at uneven intervals of time. Each series is represented by data points using different colors or bullets.

Explain how e-mail and hyperlinks can be used for designing outputs.

_______________________ is a term coined to collectively describe any information presented in a format other than traditional numbers, codes and words. This includes graphics, sound, pictures and animation.

Some detailed reports are historical.

Identify at least five principles associated with tabular report design.

Summary reports categorize information for managers who do not want to wade through details. The data for summary reports are typically categorized and summarized to indicate trends and potential problems.

________________________ outputs are those external outputs that eventually reenter the system as inputs.

E-mail is primarily used for external outputs, such as order fulfillment e-mails from an e-commerce website.

_____________________ outputs are intended for the system owners and users within an organization. They only rarely find their way outside the organization.

You should avoid abbreviations in column headings.

Which kind of chart is useful for showing the relationship between two or more series or categories of data measured at uneven intervals of time? Each series is represented by data points using either different colors or bullets.

Which kind of chart is useful for comparing different aspects of more than one series of data? Each data series is represented as a geometric shape around a central point. Multiple series are overlaid so that they can be compared.

The most common medium for computer outputs is:
