- Suggested
Phraseology – The Administrator enters text into this field, which is
presented when a respondent clicks on the Sample Phraseology link on the
Respond To LRCA page. When a respondent clicks on the Sample Phraseology
link his browser opens a window filled with possible response messages
developed by Administration for this specific issue. This is a helpful
feature since many recipients will have trouble capturing their own
thoughts into a message. The
Suggested Phraseology window opens over the Respond To LRCA page so that
it is easy for a respondent to copy text from the Suggested Phraseology
window and paste it into the message filed.
Clicking on Sample Phraseology opens
a target window in the browser from which the recipient can copy and paste text
for her response. Below is an example of the recipient’s experience when he
clicks on Sample
Phraseology.
