3.2.9 Daily Special Forms Use by Shift

The Daily Special Forms Use by Shift inquiry produces a
frequency distribution by form number of the number of times
each form number was used during a user-defined period of
time (shift) for the preceding day.

INTENDED USE:

The report provides an analysis of the amount of usage of the
different available forms.  Examination of this report may
lead to elimination of unused forms or to an increase in the
availability of additional forms.  This report can also be
used to identify high usage forms that might, for example, be
converted to "form flash" applications in order to save on
printing costs and operator interventions.

REPORT FORMAT:

The inquiry produces a tabular report for each shift.
Columns and sub headings are described below:

   FORMNUM                  Form number used to print the
                            report

   FREQUENCY                Amount of times the form was used

   PERCENT                  Percent of the total of all forms
                            used that was used by this form

   CUMULATIVE               Number of times the form was used
   FREQUENCY                in the order of total pages
                            printed

   CUMULATIVE               Percent of use in the order of
   PERCENT                  total pages printed
