TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
> 1. What are business scenarios?
> 2. How does one go about doing them?
> 3. What are the ways of doing a business scenario (e.g. graphical,
> procedural etc.)?
We use scenarios extensivly. Let's say I have a section in my doc on
using a certain functionality. I'll start the section with a scenario
that sets the stage for using that functionality. It may go as
follows, which I use to documemt Filtering:
-------------
Scenario: The default list of Activities in the Current Activities
folder contains all Activities where the Status is Current.
However, you wish to see only the Activities where the Activity
Status is Current and the Priority is Urgent.
By selecting the Current folder and filtering on the Priority column,
you create a view that shows only the Activities that meet both these
parameters.
-------------
I go on to describe Filtering in generic terms, then walk them
through creating a filter to comply with the details in the scenario.
