Provisional ARCHITECT’S WIKI Doc Outline

This is the format of the proposed DOC that will hold all the management tools for the 3 Aspects. There would be four main sections to the Doc: CURRENT, PROJECTS, BUSDEV (Business Development); MANAGEMENT. Each section heading expands to show the proposed content (click arrow).

CURRENT

The first heading, CURRENT, holds the tables and forms that everyone uses daily. Each item is filtered to show just the information relevant to this staff member.
