to exercise tighter control over data entry.

00:00:09

The list stores details about our team's upcoming trips,

00:00:12

and each member is responsible for entering

00:00:14

the information impertinent to their needs.

00:00:17

Only certain individuals are supposed to complete the budget section,

00:00:22

yet those who should not handle budget data

00:00:25

sometimes do so by mistake.

00:00:27

The challenge therefore,

00:00:29

is to minimize this error rate.

00:00:32

To address the problem,

00:00:34

we first design a form that omits every budget-related question.

00:00:39

Once published,

00:00:40

this form ensures that recipients cannot inadvertently enter any budget data

00:00:45

because such fields simply do not exist.

00:00:49

Next,

00:00:49

we build a second form that includes the budget questions.

00:00:53

These questions are set as mandatory,

00:00:56

guaranteeing that all required financial details are provided.

00:00:59

Recipients of this link see the budget fields and must complete them

00:01:04

before submitting the form.

00:01:06

By tailoring each form to its specific audience,

00:01:10

one without budget fields and one with obligatory budget fields,

00:01:14

we significantly reduce data entry errors.

00:01:18

And maintain better control over information

00:01:21

flowing into and out of the list.

00:01:24

This two-form approach streamlines the data collection process

00:01:27

and enhances the accuracy of our records.
