The following are a few basic questions.

Should all the fields in a screen be described in a procedure. Or, should only the fields that the user types an entry should be documented?

Also, if the user searches for information, should all the information on that screen be documented, or only those headings that are not self explanatory be described?

Can background processes be described in the procedure itself or as notes?
