Often a secretary assists a large group, as the many faculty in one department. Faculty often need copies of handouts, tests, quizzes, etc, for their classes. And, although it might be hard to believe, they sometimes don't plan ahead far enough for the secretary to accomplish the task in the time allotted. And, although even harder to believe, they sometimes think their task is so importatnt that the secretary should interrupt everything to accomodate them.
So, we typically have a form to request copies. Think of the process as a copy function:
We'll just use a web page to simulate the process.
The problem with our copy function is that we need to tell the secretary how many copies and what to copy. We would probably also have information like the need to collate and/or staple the copies.
