Navigation/Buttons
Buttons will be placed on the bottom of the pages. Instructions will be accessed by clicking a button rather than as mandatory pages. "Additional pages" button where applicable.

Printing - Always use the print button at the bottom of the form. Do not use browser printer command.

Date – format of mm/dd/yyyy, both format and value will be validated. There will be a display only help prompt, “mm/dd/yyyy”, to assist users to get it correct the first time.

Mandatory Fields – Name is a mandatory field. Display only, help prompt will identify mandatory fields.

Zip code – Will be unformatted alpha-numeric, because of other countries using both letters and numbers and will use all physical space available.

Phone Numbers – will be unformatted alpha-numeric, because of other countries using both letters and numbers and will use physical space available. There will be a display only help prompt, "country code if applicable."

Drop-down list – are used on some fields (ex: states). Lengthy lists are not used as they would impact speed at which form/server can respond.

Picket-fence Fields – have been replaced with single fields occupying the same physical space as the original field on the form, formatted dashes, slashes etc. will only remain on form as necessary.

Validations – Fields with validations on them (ex: month = 1-12) will use the field name in the error message, making it easier for the user to find and correct.

Fields - space for 1-2 extra characters are used to allow for proper display in different web browsers.

Calculations – Most forms will have no calculations.

Signature – will be non-visible, non-print, non-tabbing.

Additional Pages
A separate browser window will open up to allow for more input where original form requests additional pages.

Multiple line – If not filled to capacity on each line, multiple line fields may scroll. Data entered in over-flow (scrolling) area will not be printed or saved. There will be a red, display only warning prompt at the top of first page of form, "Any data typed after screen scrolls will not print.."

Copy for Multi-page/Carbon Page Forms
Data entered on page one that is repeated on following pages will be “copied” so user does not have to re-key multiple times.
