On average typically around 400 dialog steps (screen changes) are executed per week, which is equivalent to ten dialog steps an hour (assuming a work week of 40 hours) or every six minutes.

Medium User (Accountant / Clerk)A Medium User or active user is a user of the R/3 System who is logged-on to the system and consumes system resources. On average typically around 4800 dialog steps (screen changes) are executed per week that is equivalent to 120 dialog steps an hour (assuming a work week of 40 hours) or every 30 seconds. This type of user should be used if the user accesses the system permanently and is working with the system on a regular basis. Typically this type of user definition fits to accountants, clerks or office personnel.
High User (Data Entry User / Telesales User / Power User)A High User or benchmark user is a user of the R/3 system who is logged-on to the system and consumes system resources. On average typically around 14400 dialog steps (screen changes) are executed per week that is equivalent to 360 dialog steps an hour (assuming a work week of 40 hours) or every 10 seconds.
