2.4.2-3 Feedback for Repetitive Data Entries

For a repetitive data entry task that is accomplished as a continuing series of transactions, successful entry should be indicated by regenerating the data entry display, automatically removing the just-entered data in preparation for the next entry.

Additional Information:
Automatic erasure of entered data represents an exception to the general principle of control by explicit user action. In addition to erasure of entered data, a message confirming successful data entry might be displayed. Such a message may reassure uncertain users, especially in system applications where computer performance is unreliable.
