The insurance company does not have an on-line quotation service. Right now, they have only a sheet from each insurance agent to register all the clients renews and new quotations, but the sheet is not efficient. Alice needs to create an application in other to deliver a more practical and comfortable way to the audience make an online quotation. Also, this same form quotation should be available on the company’s web site l and both form entries should be recorded on the same repository (record collection).

Alice will use the sheet columns as fields in the new application for insurance quotation (data definition). When the definition is done, she will create lists for different categories that will use fields of this definition. Alice then decided to edit the form (definition) and the list to correct a mistake that she made. After creating the form (data definitions) and record collection (lists), she will import the sheet data from the Revenue department.
