  F["Supplier form adds a phone box"] --> S{"Is a phone on the signed page?"}
  S -->|No| N["Collect none"]
  S -->|Only after a new signature| W["That signature is not written here"]

A supplier's box is not Copperleaf's rule.

Logical drawing

signed page: first name and email
dropped earlier: phone, birthday, home address
supplier form: phone, "to improve delivery"
    |
    +-- the form is not Mrs. Adeyemi's signature
    +-- no telephone number is written in this lesson
    +-- a later phone rule would need a person and a period

Learning outcomes

After this chapter, you should be able to:

  1. Collect no phone while the signed page lists first name and email only.
  2. Tell a supplier's form apart from that page.
  3. State what a later phone rule would still need, without signing it here.

15.1 The page already chose the fields

The shorter sheet keeps a first name and an email. Phone, birthday and home address were dropped on purpose. The newsletter supplier then sends a revised form with a phone box, "so delivery can be improved." Improving delivery is the supplier's reason, not a change Mrs. Adeyemi has signed. Kwame leaves the box empty. He does not copy a number from an old sheet, and he does not invent one. A later decision to collect phones would need her new signature, a named person and a period. None of those three is written in this lesson.

15.2 Worked example

Lesson table; scroll horizontally to read all columns →

What arrives Authority it has Decision
A phone box on the supplier's form The supplier's layout Collect no phone
"Customers expect us to call." An expectation, not the page Still collect none
An old sheet that once had numbers A field the new page dropped Do not copy the numbers across
Mrs. Adeyemi's new signature, a named person and a period The rule for adding a field Not signed in this lesson

Synthetic case. No telephone number appears in the case. Do not add one.

Errors and limits

Refusing the box is a decision under the signed page. It is not a finding that a statute was broken, and it is not legal advice. Chapter 19 still applies: a phone scribbled later onto an undated copy does not enter the send list either.

Worked answers

EX069. Collect no phone. The supplier form is not the signed page. A later rule needs Mrs. Adeyemi's signature, a named person, and a period.
