Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for providing clarity and simplicity to the task of screening for errors occurring in a data storage system and improving the effectiveness of the response to these errors. The system and method includes and employs a graphical user interface (GUI) for providing clarity and simplicity. Also by constraining entry texts into a controlled entry field, the likelihood of text-entry errors are greatly reduced. Further by providing menu options, simplicity and clarity are improved while likelihood of text-entry errors are also further reduced. Text-entry error checking tools are also provided to further decrease the probability that such errors will occur. The system and method employ a mechanism to allow for remote error screening and responding to the error from a remote location also.
