Application Development (the resource worksheet file)

Step 1 

A model "resource record" worksheet was developed which served as
the template for each specific resource work file.  The worksheet
contained data fields consisting of a descriptive profile,
statement of historic significance, maintenance record, site
description, and special conditions for each resource.  Since
this worksheet served as a template for all the individual
resource records, each data field in the worksheet was predefined
to hold the necessary information.  Row [A1] through [A3]
contained the resource data field located in the primary
(foundation) worksheet of the prototype application.  In the
system template, rows [A7] through [A26] became the "Profile"
field;  rows [A28] through [A46] the "Historic Significance"
field; rows [A48] through [A66] the "Maintenance Record"; rows
[A68] through [A86] the "Site Description"; and rows [A88]
through [A106] the "Special Conditions."  Since this format was
used for all resource records, this worksheet template was named
"RESOURCE.CRS."  This generic sheet can be activated (loaded)
whenever necessary to create a new resource record.  Each time
the template sheet is used for a new record, the resulting sheet
is saved under a filename corresponding to the unique resource
name or identification code.  (To change a filename after a sheet
has already been saved, use the Rename option in the Applications
Command menu by pressing the [/ F B] key sequence from the
worksheet environment.)
