Custom Document Management System

The following documents provide requirements and training for a client-specific document management system, based on a Microsoft Sharepoint platform. These files were created for a non-expert audience, to enable engineers to manage their documents in the absence of a centralized document management team.

The manual and checklist were created in Word using a client custom style template. The Tips & Tricks training files were created in Powerpoint. Graphics were created using screen captures taken with the Microsoft Snipping Tool and modified using Paint or Photoshop, and built in MS Office drawing tools.
