The software
forces me to
perform tasks
that are not
related to my
actual work
The software
lets me
completely
perform entire
work routines
The functions
implemented in
the software
support me in
performing my
work
I perceive the
arrangement of
the elements
on-screen as
sensible for the
work I do with
the software
Too many
different steps
need to be
performed to
deal with the
given task
The way in
which data is
output is suited
to the tasks I
want to perform
with the
software
The software is
well suited to
the
requirements of
my work
In a given screen
I find all the
information I
need in that
situation
The convention
used in the
software reflects
that of my
environment
The software
provides me
with a repeat
function for
work steps that
must be
performed
several times in
succession
I can easily
adapt the
software for
performing new
tasks
The important
commands
required to
perform my
work are easy to
find
I am able to
adjust the
presentation of
results (on the
screen) to my
various work

I can call up
specific
explanations
for the use of
the system, if
necessary
I understand
immediately
what is meant
by the
information
displayed by
the software
It is easy to
retrieve
information
about a certain
entry field
When menu
items are not
available in
certain
situations, this
fact is visually
communicated
to me
If I want, the
software will
display not
only general
explanation
but also
concrete
examples to
illustrate
points
The
explanations
that the
software gives
me clearly
refer to the
specific
situations in
which they are
output
If I want, the
software
displays basic
information
about
conceptual
aspects of the
program
The software
provides me
with enough
information
about which
entries are
permitted in a
particular
situation
I can tell
straight away
which
functions are
invoked by the
various menu
items
The concepts
used in the
software are
clear and
unambiguous
The software
always visually
marks the
current entry
location
I can easily tell
the difference
among
feedback
messages,
requests to
confirm inputs
or commands,
warnings, and
error
messages.

I need a long time to
learn how to use
the software
It is easy for me to
relearn how to use
the software after a
lengthy interruption
The explanations
provided help me
understand the
software so that I
become more and
more skilled at using
it
So far I have not had
any problems in
learning the rules
for communicating
with the software
I was able to use the
software right from
the beginning by
myself, without
having to ask
coworkers for help
I feel encouraged by
the software to try
out new system
functions by trial
and error
In order to use the
software properly I
must remember
many details
I find it easy to use
the commands
