The principle of flexibility clearly defines that when the objective and work nature of the agencies get change, in accordance with the change effect the recording content must be changed and give emphasizes on another aspect as well.
2-The principles of Selection.
The recording of the group work does not necessarily contain all the information about the group activities unless it is significant and informative for the same. Here the worker keeps recording some selective significant observation about individuals and their process of interaction in the group environment. His/her selection of the content may be from the commencement of the group activities to the behavior pattern of the individuals.

The ideal report or record should be kept as simple as possible for the greater significance in the future group work process. Records should be written systematically followed by the principles of readability

The responsibility of keeping the record should become as important as other responsibilities of the worker. The worker should realize and acknowledge that the recording is a vital part of the entire group work process.
