Outcomes define the results of processes.
Outcomes are the result of processes.
By specifying outcomes in separate documents, multiple processes can refer to them.
Outcomes can be split into subordinate outcomes. This way it can be documented how several processes create an outcome.
Properties
The document type process-outcome provides the following properties:
Type

Use the Outcome Type Doctype to define types of outcomes.
Sections
Description
Describe the outcome in one to three paragraphs.
Processes
List of processes that produce this outcome.
Notes
These are internal notes that are usually not exported and only visible to team members with write access.
But this is not a safe place to store sensible information. It is just a convenience for the reader to not be bothered with notes stored here for the authors for later use. The security level is about suppressing the representation by a CSS style. Therefore consider this as a convenience for the reader, not as a security tool.
References
For a document the references section contains pointers to resources that prove the statements of the document.
Often these proofs are not easily distinguishable from further information. In this case you may want to skip the reference section in favour for the resource list.
Resources
The resources section provides references to further information to the topic of the document.
This may be information on the internet provided by the resource or information in the team's information systems. Anything the reader of the resource might want to know, may be listed here.
