Subject: RE: AVTS configuration
standards
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????
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.
