What I have decided to do is make a database for Type a flight so that there is a lot of time being saved. The way it will work is that instead of filling cabinet they will have a database so that when a customer rings in, it will be much easier to book him/her their flight. Hence the company will get more customers and they will become more popular. Also the employees will like it because they will have less man work and they can do their job more easily.
Research
The database I have looked at is called type of flight. It has things like if you already signed up or if not then you can register but only staff can use this database. Also it has things such as if you are recommended by a friend and if you want to recommend a friend.
Database: Type a flight
Comment:
The switchboard which I looked at is called “Type a flight” and the logo is situated in the middle of the page. It has various buttons such as Enter ID, Search ID, Gender, D.O.B, Name etc. This makes the database faster and sufficient. When you press any button there should be a query box will appear so it will be easier to get to the detail. Also in this there are Forms and Queries. Forms are based on Queries and the Queries are based on the database.
Tasks
These are my five task that I have been appointed to do.
- Getting information about the travel agency
- Design a logo and a slogan for the travel agency
- Create a database + Queries + Forms and final Switchboard
- Create a letterhead and design letter templates
- Writing reports at the end (User Guides)
1. Getting information about the travel agency
I can get information from the travel agency by looking for their brochures but I will not because it will waste too much time by looking for their brochures. I can also get the information from the internet by going in their website but I will not do this because this will also waste time and if I do get the information this might not be reliable source. I will get information from the actual agency by going to their shop and I will do this because it will be sufficient and I could ask those questions as well and the information I will get will be reliable.
- Create a database + Queries and Forms
I can create a database by Microsoft access but I will not because it is not made for that. I will create a database by Microsoft excel because it easy to make databases and it is sufficient.
- Design a logo and a slogan for the travel agency
I can design a logo for the travel agency by various ways, I design the logo by hand but I will not because It will be drawn inaccurate and it might just waste too much time. I will design the logo for the travel agency by using the application paint.
- Create a letterhead and design letter templates
I can create a letterhead by hand but I will not because it doesn’t look professional and it also time consuming. I can create a letterhead by notepad but I will not because it
I cannot do some things, which are vital for me. I will use Microsoft word because this is the most sufficient application for me.
5. Writing reports at the end (User Guides)
I can write a report at the end with my hand but I will not because I can make mistake also it will be more time consuming. I can create my report at the by using a application called notepad but I will not because it also doesn’t have things which are I need. I will write my report on the application Microsoft word because it has everything I need to write my report.
