Start Access. Open the file named Exp19_Access_Ch07_Cap_Replacement_Parts.accdb. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

You’ll   begin by creating a basic form based on the Employees table.
 

  Select the Employees table and use the Form tool to create a new form. Change   the title to View Employees.   Delete the Orders subform.

It   is important for the staff to only be able to view the form and not make any   edits to the data provided in the form.
 

  Change the Allow Edits, Allow Additions, and Allow Deletions  settings to No.   View the form and data in Form view. Save the form as View Employees. Close the form.

For   those staff members that are permitted to edit employee data,  it is important   to control for the risk of human error. In this case,  we are concerned with   the Country field related to each employee. You  will create a table and enter   only the countries you would like your  staff to choose from into it.
 

  Create a new table in table design view. Name the first field Country and ensure the field is set as the   primary key. Switch to Datasheet view, saving the table as Countries. Enter two records, UK and USA   (in that order). Close the table.

Now,   you’ll update the Update Employees form so that the countries  that your staff   can choose from will be limited to those countries  that exist in your newly   created table.
 

  Open the Update Employees form in Design view. Change the Country  field to a   Combo Box. Set the Row Source to Countries and the Limit To  List property to   Yes.

You   will need to ensure that the tab order makes sense in the  Update Employees   form. This makes it easier for your staff to  use/navigate.
 

  Fix the tab order so the Postal Code field comes immediately before the   Country field. Save and close the form.

Adding   specific policies and/or procedures to various forms is one  of the best ways   to ensure that your staff sees then on a regular  basis and understands them.   You’ll add a note on the View Employees  form stating that the viewable data   is considered private and should  be handled with caution.
 

  Open the View Employees form in Design view. Add a new label  control in the   left-side of the form footer that displays the text Personnel information is considered private and printouts should   be shredded after use (do not include a period). Change the   font color to Black, Text 1 and bold the text. Save and close the form.

Summary   reports are great for providing company executives with  quick information.   You will create a report that lists the important  employee information to   your executives.
 

  Create a new report using the Report Wizard based on the Employees  table.   Select the FirstName, LastName, HireDate, and HomePhone fields,  in that   order. Accept all other default options.

Your   executives have asked to summarize the employee information by  who each   employee reports to. As such, you’ll add a grouping by the  ReportsTo field to   the report. You’ll also add a count to the footer  section of each group that   counts the number of employees that report  to each supervisor.
 

  Switch to Layout view. Add grouping by the ReportsTo field. Switch  to Design   view. Switch the option to with a footer section in the  Group, Sort, and   Total pane Use the pane to also display the count of  the First Name field in   the Group Footer section.

The   executives that each group of employees appears on a different  page. You’ll   add a page break in the footer section of each group.
 

  Add an Insert Page Break control at the bottom of the ReportsTo  footer. Decrease   the size of the Home Phone field label, by dragging  the right border so it   lines up with the 6-inch mark on the horizontal  ruler. Ensure that the label   width is set to as close to 1.08 inches  as possible. 

Finally,   you’ll need to calculate the number of years each employee  has been at the   company. Adding a text box to the report will allow  you to do so.
 

  Add a new Text Box control to the right of the HomePhone text box.  Use the   Tabular button in the Table group of the Arrange tab to place  it correctly.   Change the label for the field to Years Employed.

Add   a formula in the text box to calculate the number of years (not  days) since   the employee’s hire date, assuming the current date   is #12/31/2018#. Format the field as Standard with 1   decimal place. Save and close the report.

Close   the database, and submit the file as instructed.

Project Description:

The Human Resources Department asked you to assist them in updating  the database they are using. The department requires a form that can be  used to find information but not change information. In addition, you  will enhance an existing form and generate a report showing which  employees report to each supervisor.

After this weeks readings and your own research, describe and discuss ways, if any, we can safely share security data.Are there precautions we can take, technical solutions we can use, e.g., like using the CIA triad, or should we just not share these kinds of data? Feel free to argue for and against, just make sure to back up your statements with scholarly support.

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least TWO of the following:

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
• Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
• Provide extensive additional information on the topic
• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
• Share an applicable personal experience
• Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA 7)
• Make an argument concerning the topic.

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.

Some of the earliest known examples of recorded information come from Mesopotamia, which roughly corresponds to modern-day Iraq, and date from around the middle of the fourth millennium BC. The writing is called cuneiform, which refers to the fact that marks were made in wet clay with a wedge-shaped stylus.

A particularly famous mathematical example of cuneiform is the clay tablet known as YBC 7289.

This tablet is inscribed with a set of numbers using the Babylonian sexagesimal (base-60) system. In this system, an angled symbol, <, represents the value 10 and a vertical symbol, |, represents the value 1. For example, the value 30 is written (roughly) like this: <<<. This value can be seen along the top-left edge of YBC 7289.

The markings across the center of YBC 7289 consist of four digits: |, <<||||, <<<<<|, and <. Historians have suggested that these markings represent an estimate of the length of the diagonal of a unit square, which has a true value of  (to eight decimal places). The decimal interpretation of the sexagesimal digits is, which is amazingly close to the true value, considering that YBC 7289 has been dated to around 1600 BC.

What we are going to do with this ancient clay tablet is to treat it as information that needs to be stored electronically

The choice of a clay tablet for recording the information on YBC 7289 was obviously a good one in terms of the durability of the storage medium. Very few electronic media today have an expected lifetime of several thousand years. However, electronic media do have many other advantages.

The most obvious advantage of an electronic medium is that it is very easy to make copies. The curators in charge of YBC 7289 would no doubt love to be able to make identical copies of such a precious artifact, but truly identical copies are only really possible for electronic information.

This leads us to the problem of how we produce an electronic record of the tablet YBC 7289. 

What data would be stored for this?
