The Big W's
Activity transactions are the source
of historical or future (scheduled or task) information for any one
its elements. You can access any imaginable information from a single
activity, past or future, by a click of a button. The activity manager
adds the management values to the activity as it is created and followed
up. These are the basic ingredients of how an event is usually defined
by selecting the appropriate answers to the -
Why
When
What
Who
Whom
Where -
questions all of which start with 'W' (we refer them as 'The Big
Ws')
'The Big W' values are
either defined by the users to suit the needs of the organisation,
business or reporting and by selecting the related information from
the database.
For example the 'Why' question
can be tabulated in the Reason Category and Reason Item tables by
creating the Reason Codes. Similarly the 'Whom' question can be
answered by selecting the related Company, Site and contact information
from the database.
