Characteristic Consideration for Form and Report Design Issues related to experience, skills, motivation, education, and personality should be considered. User Task Tasks differ in amount of information that must be obtained from or provided to the user. Task demands such as time pressure, cost of errors, and work duration (fatigue) will influence usability. The platform on which the system is constructed will influence interaction styles and devices. System Environment Social issues such as the users' status and role should be considered in addition to environmental concerns such as lighting, sound, task interruptions, temperature, and humidity. The creation of usable forms and reports may necessitate changes in the users' physical work facilities.
