I like the
idea of the level of control that we have now, but I would certainly defer to
Nel and Jeff’s level of experience.
Nel, is there a functional reason why TS Text should be
standardized? Or is it just to
avoid “weird” TS texts in “generic” environments (like demos, test elections,
etc.)? Perhaps we should be pushing
for greater flexibility in employing multiple TS Text versions, not a rigid
standardization. I’m playing Devil’s
advocate here, obviously. Tyler -----Original
Message----- Yes,
it would be great if we had a set standard. However, when a customer
requests that the would like the instructions to be specific for that
particular election, ie: Amendment Election, School Bonds, etc,
etc. Are the customers stuck with a standard set of
instructions when they are using paper ballots???? I think
that it would be much better, if we were able to put into Gems those items
within TSText that change for different
elections. INPUT???? -----Original
Message----- As it stands, many of us have varying versions
of TS Text folders installed on our GEMS computers as well as varying versions
of audio instructions on VIBS AVTS machines. Could we aim at locking up
and standardizing this information so that the TS Text is only changeable
through a formal rcr procedure? On one hand, this would make the revision
of operational instructions and audio far more cumbersome, but at the same
time, it would give us far greater control and standardization in the
configuration of touch screens, which will be of greater importance as the
units become increasingly deployed in the field. Nel |
