What fields should be keyed?
We have required fields, these are the highlighted fields, that are based on information that all of the records should contain. If this information isn’t available the fields should be marked “blank”. There are other fields included on form types that some records may contain, but since not all of the records have this information it would be time consuming to mark all of them blank if the information isn’t present. If there is a field available and there is information on the record that is applicable this information should be collected. There is often information on the records that we do not have fields for. Although it would be nice to capture more information, the main reason we don’t ask for all of the information available on a record is that we are creating an index. The information we gather is based on information that will be searchable.
