0714 - Record content
0715 -
071501 - The following stuff was under the "Record" section, and does not
071502 - really belong there:
071503 -
071504 - SDS records are very flexible in the amount of information they can
071505 - contain, so it is helpful to have in mind some guidelines for
071506 - deciding what information goes in one record rather than another.
071507 -
071508 - One guideline is whether a record has a logical beginning and end
071509 - relative to time.
071510 -
071511 - For example a telephone call is sufficiently distinct to easily
071512 - recognize information to associate with it.  The call may cover a
071513 - variety of subj and SDS permits separate identification of different
071514 - topics within a si record (see "Subjects" beginning on page 2-23).
071515 - Similarly, meetings an discussions have a start and stop time such
071516 - that the stuff in between can be entered into a single record.
071517 -
071518 - Another guideline is the potential use of the information.  In a
071519 - contra situation, for example, it may be helpful to record receipt or
071520 - non-receipt of mail promised (e.g. the delivery of drawings or
071521 - payment). Likewise an inspection that reveals defective work or
071522 - correction of same could form content of a record.
071523 -
071524 - You can adopt any criteria suitable to your needs.
071525 -
071526 - This kind of thing wound up on page 2-56.
