When building any application the key step of the whole development process should be to create a sound functioning application. The applications structure must be tested and well suited to run the given program. Over complicated programs with un-simplified steps leave room for errors and if the structure isn’t suited for the process you end up with a un useable product. Writing out pseudo code and getting the information in the right path to accomplish the goal of the process is key. After turning the problem into a pseudo code for the personal management application, the next step was making the flow chart it Visual Logic. The main goal of the application was to have a breakdown of information received and to prioritize these files by economic value. First problem is the value of information can fluctuate with timing and environment. It does me no good to the profits to be made in something I know nothing about and I’m not involved in. So therefore I decided to give the user a structure to input the information they decide is valuable. And a number system for prioritizing the information received which is stored in a spreadsheet that allows the user to review and connect the individual files and hopefully make a profit. So first I set the variable as number. So the user can simply attach the file with a 1 meaning “High Value”, 2 for “Significant Value” and 3 for “Limited Value”. This simple structure prioritizes the value and sends the file on the correct path. So in the first step I set the input variable to “number”. And judging on the number input by the user the file will follow a path to the correct folder. Next I set an if statement to set the path to the high value information, the condition was if input is the number 1 then the file continues to the high priority file folder. If not then then the file continues on the chart. The
