Sections

Description

Describe the activity.

Descriptions of activities are brief and associated to the IT Processes they are part of. For a description of the work to be done by which people, use the IT Procedure Doctype. If you even need to get more detailed on the working steps, provide work instructions.

Triggers

Automatically generated list of triggers that starts this activity.

The list is based on the triggers listed in Triggered by.

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.

 

The text of notes sections is also indexed.

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.

 

For further information please refer to References and Resources.

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.
