Re: Question on Naming

[Robert Courtney <bobsc1 -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

 From the one screen you can do several things. It is dynamic in the 
things you do you. You can lock records, you can approve records 
(multiple from a list), submit records for processing, or export records 
to external programs. That's why I call them "Action Items." You can do 
several action from them. But, they are screens. And I wonder if using 
screen is better to describe the area they are going to because they 
understand that better or can I create a definition and the user accept 
it willingly. They do many actions from the screen.

Hope that helps clarify what I mean by dynamic.
