Resume Submission Web Form Design

This document outlines the design of a web form for online resume submission, emphasizing the importance of efficient input design. It details the required fields, including student's name, department, email, contact number, and resume upload, all of which are mandatory. The design incorporates format validation for email and contact number fields and restricts numbers in name and department fields. The document also compares online and batch data input methods, highlighting the advantages of online methods in terms of real-time updates, easy validation, and error handling, despite the higher cost. The online method is deemed more efficient for this application.

Input is the raw data which when processed produces output. The input design of a system defines how robust the
system can be. It also determines the accuracy of the output it generates. The major property of an input design is to
make the input form easy and straight forward. It should be simple, consistent and accurate. The major objective of the
input design is to reduce the input volume, introduce validation checks and better input controls. In order to design the
resume submission interface, the basic outline should be Student’s Name, Department, Email, Contact Number and finally
the Resume. Rest all details can be easily fetched from the resume itself. The main idea behind incorporating the online
data input method instead of the batch input method is that the online data input methods are much better and efficient
as compared to the batch data input methods. However the online input methods are a bit costlier than the batch
method, still the online input method makes the system more accessible and interactive. The database gets updated in
the real time using the online data input method as compared to batch system where it take days in finalizing the data
input and storing in valid place. The data can be easily validated hand to hand in case of online input method whereas the
validation process is very long in batch input method. The most important aspect of online input design is error handling.
In case of any mistake, the data can be rectified and updated easily in case online input design while it is very long process
in batch input design. Therefore the online data input design is more efficient as compared to batch design.
