Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Confirming input acceptance is the most appropriate control plan in this scenario. This would involve providing immediate feedback to the user after inputting data, such as a pop-up message or a confirmation screen, to let them know whether the information has been successfully accepted. This would prevent the user from entering the data again unnecessarily and minimize the risk of duplicate event data. Key verification and check digits are methods of data validation, but they do not directly address the issue of input acceptance confirmation. Online prompting could also help prevent errors, but it is not specifically designed to address this particular error scenario.
