CASE STUDY 2: Personal Trainer Inc.
PERSONAL TRAINER, INC.
Personal Trainer, Inc., owns and operates fitness centers in a dozen Midwestern cities. The centers have done well, and the company is planning an international expansion by opening a new “supercenter” in the Toronto area. Personal Trainer’s president, Cassia Umi, hired an IT consultant, Susan Park, to help develop an information system for the new facility. During the project, Susan will work closely with Gray Lewis, who will manage the new operation.

1. Create a detail report that will display all Personal Trainer courses in alphabetical order, with the course name and the instructor name in a group header; the Social Security number, name, and telephone number of each current student in the detail section; and the student count in a group footer.
2. Create a switchboard design with control buttons that lead to members, fitness instructors, activities and services, schedules, and fitness class rosters. Allow a user to add, update, or delete records in each area.
3. Suggest context-sensitive and specific Help for the switchboard and lower-level menus and forms. Prepare storyboards that show the proposed screens. Also suggest at least six types of data validation rules for data entry screens.
I suggest these six types of data validation:
4. Design a mail-in source document that members can use to register for fitness classes. Also design a Web-based registration form.

I suggest these six types of data validation:
- dataLength - This rule validates the length of the specified field value against the length you specify.
- dateRange - This rule validates the value of the specified date field against the range you specify.
- matchFromFile - This rule validates the value of the specified field against a list of values that you supply in a delimited file known as a valid value list.
- patternMatch - This rule validates the pattern of the specified field value against a regular expression.
- range - This rule validates the value of the specified field against a numeric range.
- reject - This rule rejects the specified field as bad data and writes the record to the bad data file.
4. Design a mail-in source document that members can use to register for fitness classes. Also design a Web-based registration form.
