Data Classification and Zoning
Have you ever filled out a form where you had to "jump around"? Many forms have this design weakness. The solution is simple: List all the items that must go on the form and classify them into logical groupings. All a items are listed under a "general" classification. For example, in a pure order, several items fall into a group called "shipping instructions." They include SHIP TO, SHIP FROM, and SHIP VIA.
After the items are classified into a logical sequence by group, the consideration is placing the data groups in appropriate areas (zones).
1. A form is divided into zones; each zone represents a similar group information.
2. The zones are organized in a logical flow based on the upper left co (ULC) method.
3. When more than one form is involved, the sequence of data in related forms should follow the same flow.
