Subject: Form or general questions for conducting records inventory

I need to develop a records inventory form.  Can anyone offer some ideas
on general questions to ask office employees who are inexperienced with
providing information on records?  I think there should be some
questions about what are the functions of your job or what are some of
the documents you create since most employees are unaware of records
series or how to describe records.  I have looked at the forms from NARA
and they seem to assume that the person filling out the form knows what
the series description is.
