The Formatted Form

 A formatted form is a preprinted form or template that requests the user to enter data in appropriate locations. It is fill-in-the-blank type form. The form is flashed on the screen as a unit. The curser is usually positioned at the first blank. After the user responds filling in the appropriate information, the curser automatically moves to next line, and so on until the for is completed. During this routine, user may move the curser up, down, right, or left to various locations making changes in the response. The system requests information about the customer's name address, renewal date, and so on. The user fills out the information on the dotted lines.
