eGolfer Registration

See the window examples shown earlier and familiarize yourself with the eGolf Services Registration Web page. On this page, we have a couple of images, some literals, some push buttons, and some entry fields. The entry fields are data-related controls and normally we place them first. For each data-related object, we need to determine what information views are required to support that object, and what GUI data-related control will be used to represent each piece of data.

All the information about a golfer (other than their handicap index) is used on this page. However, we are going to pass all of this information, plus the handicap index, to the golfer's home page. Essentially, we need an export view with all of the golfer's information. In addition, we have two views of a golfer's password. One is for their confirmation. This means that we actually need two export views of a golfer, one with all of their information, and another with just the password. Once we create the necessary export views, we will just copy them to the imports. We will then place (map) these views to data-related controls on the window.

In addition to deciding which views are required, we would decide which type of data-related control would be used to represent the data. Examples of data-related controls are entry fields, radio buttons, check boxes, and drop-down lists. We are going to be using entry fields.
