I like
the idea of the level of control that we have now, but I would certainly defer
to Nel and Jeff’s level of experience.
Nel, is there a functional reason why TS Text should be
standardized? Or is it just to
avoid “weird” TS texts in “generic” environments (like demos, test elections,
etc.)? Perhaps we should be
pushing for greater flexibility in employing multiple TS Text versions, not a
rigid standardization. I’m
playing Devil’s advocate here, obviously.

AVTS configuration standards
Yes,
it would be great if we had a set standard. However, when a customer
requests that the would like the instructions to be specific for that
particular election, ie: Amendment Election, School Bonds, etc,
etc. Are the customers stuck with a standard set of
instructions when they are using paper
ballots????
I think that
it would be much better, if we were able to put into Gems those items within
TSText that change for different elections. INPUT????

standards
As
it stands, many of us have varying versions of TS Text folders installed on
our GEMS computers as well as varying versions of audio instructions on VIBS
AVTS machines. Could we aim at locking up and standardizing this
information so that the TS Text is only changeable through a formal rcr
procedure? On one hand, this would make the revision of operational
instructions and audio far more cumbersome, but at the same time, it would
give us far greater control and standardization in the configuration of touch
screens, which will be of greater importance as the units become increasingly
deployed in the field.
