School boards suffer due to a lack of overall Information management strategy

Documents consist of information that is used
for particular business processes. There is no
requirement for documents to be maintained for
any period of time.
Records are a subclass of documents that
must be treated differently. Specifically, they
must be maintained in a format that can not be
changed for a specific length of time.
Processes produce both documents and records.
Users do not have “silo’ed” work days where they handle just records or handle just documents.

Do we have any tape?
Someone needs to
organize this!
That looks great…but where do I
put my vacation request-is it HR or
department?
Do we have any tape?
I thought we organized
this?!
Effective EIM drives efficient
administration:
It is embedded into normal work
processes
Provides time-savings to system
users
Aligns with organization strategy
and goals
A form by any other name……
Their value is in:
• They standardized what information
is collected.
• They standardize how information is
conveyed as part of the request.
• The possession of a form is a
physical reminder of a approval or
request for staff
• Allows for a record of whom has
responded (also Yay or Nay)

Forms represent processes but are a confusing “thing”.
A form is just a document that represents a process – unless it has private/financial/student information.

relationship with
key
departments?
Think about how the persona will use information

I need to find………
People search webpages via patterns. Some patterns are better for certain problems. Start with one and
modify as necessary.
Design for a minimal amount of clicking
• What: searching for specific text elements
users are most likely to search down the left side
and across at specific points; an F shape.
• So what: When attempting to give users options
to go elsewhere think about visibility and
placement in an F pattern.
Fishing: to
search for via a
pattern
Zumba: to dance
through a area
via a pattern
• What: When looking for a phrase or function
that they know, users tend to scan across left to
right, scan back to the left and scan left to right;
in a Z pattern
• So What: For pages just for moving to other
pages be mindful of the Z.
Do not make users understand the process- simply let them do their part
Make buttons understandable

are most likely to search down the left side and
