System has consent, signature, recording and retention functions. Near post-sessional data acquisition gathers nominal comm device information from participants. Active online phones are sent a SMS with the recorded event ID, a hyperlink and password for system access. Otherwise, data is acquired for another text message enabled phone or user email. If disconnected, the user is called for additional data. A contractual relationship is established with these functions. With an ACK-consent upon system access, an ACK-consent by the parties, a RECORD ON command, and a recorded intent-to-contract, the system creates an enforceable contract by storing the ACKs and recorded session.

The device essentially consists of a substantially rigid piece that has a first portion (1), a second portion (2) and conventional means (3) for securing the piece onto a fastening surface (6).

The first portion (1) forms a space such that once the head (5) of the coupling element (4) is introduced inside the space, the rotation of the coupling element (4) around its own axis is prevented (anti-rotation function).

The second portion (2) is connected to the first portion (1) in a part of the second portion located opposite to the opening of the space through which the head (5) of the coupling element (4) is introduced. In such a way that once the piece is mounted on the head of the coupling element, the axial movement of the coupling element (4) is prevented (retention function).

Generated is a template edition screen on which to display components of a report as modules by OSD by use of icons. One of the icons is selected by use of a pointing device including a mouse. By a drag-and-drop operation, the icon is placed at a desired position in an output format setup area formed in the same screen. The icon is set in a desired size by another drag-and-drop operation. Details of a module shown by the icon thus placed can be set up in a detail setup area in the same screen. Information on a format thus set up is retained as a template through a retention function, and accordingly can be used easily by simply calling the information. Moreover, the retained template can be edited as well. This makes it possible not only to create a new template, but also to modify an existing template.
