Form and report wireframes
A A design notation used to plan the visual layout of an interface. Placeholders will be created for elements such as text areas, image areas, video areas and hyperlinks/navigation. is an outline or diagram of an interface. It shows where all the components of the interface will be located, without creating all the graphics and elements that will appear in the final product.
When designing a database application, it is necessary to plan how input and output interfaces will appear and how they will function.
Database designers will use form design plans (wireframes) to plan input and output interfaces. These wireframes will provide detail of what data will be accepted as input, what Data entry widgets found on a database form. Common form fields include text, check boxes, radio buttons and drop down menus will be used and what colours, fonts and layout will be employed.
Like a data dictionary, there is no standard, yet it is generally accepted that there should be enough detail to allow a third party to develop the appropriate forms and reports needed.
