True/False
Computer outputs should be complex so that they can present as much information as possible to management
False
Summary reports present information with little or no filtering or restrictions
False
A mnemonic syntax is built around meaningful abbreviations for all commands.
True
An iconic menu uses graphic representations for menu options.
True
Databases should be shared resources.
True
Graphic output is the use of a pictorial chart to convey information in ways that demonstrate trends and relationships not easily seen in tabular output.
True
In web-based applications, the toolbar is provided by the browser and cannot be customized.
True
Information engineering (IE) is a model-driven and data-centered, but process-sensitive, technique to plan, analyze, and design information systems
True
Internal outputs are intended for the internal system owners and system users within an organization. They only rarely find their way outside the organization
True
Many outputs are now web-enabled with hyperlinks.
True
Modern structured design is a process-oriented technique for breaking up a large program into a hierarchy of modules resulting in computer programs that are easier to implement and maintain.
True
New information systems are expected to be message-enabled, that is, to have an interface with electronic mail.
True
One key to user interface design is to test the system on actual users
True
One type of instruction set, Natural Language syntax, allows the user to enter questions and commands in their native language. The system interprets these commands against a known syntax and requests clarification if necessary
True
Paging displays a complete screen of characters at a time.
True
Physical data flow diagrams are a good starting point for output design.
True
Point of sale terminals are both input and output devices that are used in retail and consumer transactions.
True
Pop-up menus offer the ability to provide a list of options that pertain to a specific object that the user selected.
True
Scrolling displays information one line at a time.
True
Some detailed reports are regulatory, that is, required by the government.
True
Structured design is considered a process-oriented technique because its emphasis is on the process building blocks in our information system
True
Structured design seeks to factor a program into the top-down hierarchy of modules that have the following properties - (1) modules should be highly cohesive; and (2) modules should be loosely coupled.
True
Systems analysis emphasizes the business problem; systems design focuses on the technical or implementation concerns of the system.
True
Tabular output presents information as columns of text and numbers
True
The primary tool of information engineering is the data model diagram (also known as the entity-relationship diagram).
True
The recommended steps for user interface design involve both charting the dialogue and building prototypes.
True
When modules are highly cohesive, each module should accomplish one and only one function. This makes the modules reusable in future programs.
True
Zoned output places text and numbers into designated areas or boxes of a form or screen.
True
