Organisational systems for recordkeeping include different types of filing systems. For example, records can be stored by subject and/or by geographical region. Identify two other filing systems organisations use to store their records. |
|
1 |
Numeric filling system: Each of the files is assigned with the numbers and arranged the numbers into sequential order. The files on people with same name are not able to duplicate the headings with other system. The system offers with better files with higher level of confidentiality since there are no names displayed on the files as well as work at the time of handling of large volume of files. |
|
|
2 |
Alphanumeric Filing System: Use both of the letters as well as numbers into the filing system. The letters are signified the state which are followed by number in order to denote the account number. It is a easier way to pull out larger quantity of the files from same location. |

Electronic Source |
Online questionnaire is an electronic source of primary information. |
|
|
Use |
Throughout online survey, the researcher can take the feedback from the target audiences. It is an effective method as the time span required to complete the online survey are average.
