0807 - Summary/Objective
0808 -
080801 - Follow up ref SDS 36 0000, ref SDS 21 0000.
080802 -
080803 - Gary Johnson began learning SDS on or about 020924. ref SDS 32 0001  A
080804 - few weeks later on 021010 he suggested making the process for
080805 - receiving documents the same as for issuing documents in order to have
080806 - a single system that is easier to learn than having two slightly
080807 - different procedures for what seems like a common function.
080808 - ref SDS 33 P44R
080810 -      ..
080811 -     [On 021028 sent Gary updated program with improvements.
080812 -     ref SDS 37 0001
080814 -      ..
080815 -     [On 021227 major improvement to return error messages when doc log
080816 -     fields not filled out, and to use savx for creating directories to
080817 -     manage all documents. ref SDS 40 4O8K
080819 -  ..
080820 - Over the past few weeks Gary's suggestion has been implemented,
080821 - primarily reported on 021013. ref SDS 34 0001  These changes improve
080822 - prior User application procedure, per below. ref SDS 0 5G3K  These
080823 - changes result in the following improvements....
080824 -
080825 -    1.  Background showing original objectives and evolution of code
080826 -        development is mostly summarized in the record on 021019.
080827 -        ref SDS 35 4741
080828 -
080829 -           [On 070904 Gary Johnson cites need for "testbed" software
080830 -           platform to experiment developing Knowledge Management
080831 -           support based on feedback from routine use for accomplishing
080832 -           daily work. ref SDS 42 DV4R
080834 -         ..
080835 -    2.  There is now a single procedure using macro file 0501 for
080836 -        issuing and receiving documents, reported on 021013.
080837 -        ref SDS 34 NGUQ   All correspondence starts with a common
080838 -        standard format, ref SDS 34 UZ3N, suggested by Gary Johnson on
080839 -        021010. ref SDS 33 P44R  This can be edited to suit particular
080840 -        circumstances.  For example, often there is a field for
080841 -        "References" in government and military work, discussed on
080842 -        021013. ref SDS 34 NW35
080844 -         ..
080845 -        This new procedure provides better support for alternate
080846 -        letterheads.  Formerly, the letterhead could be changed with an
080847 -        awkward process using macro file 0450431.  Now a letterhead is
080848 -        generated each pass from the contents of the From field in the
080849 -        doc log, similar to generating the address using the To field
080850 -        in the doc log, reported on 021013, ref SDS 34 4G3M, and which
080851 -        are entered in a few seconds using the Contact system to
080852 -        select an organization and a person, and pressing Enter.
080854 -         ..
080855 -    3.  PCL has been eliminated as the default condition for issued
080856 -        documents, so it is no longer necessary to remove it each time
080857 -        a letter is prepared and converted to HTML for sending via
080858 -        email, reported on 021013. ref SDS 34 6F9F
080860 -         ..
080861 -    4.  Suspended the "location" field that shows a room number or
080862 -        mail-stop for addressing correspondence, since most letters are
080863 -        sent by email. ref SDS 34 H65I
080865 -         ..
080866 -    5.  Eliminated the Reference field for listing sources, explained
080867 -        on 021013. ref SDS 34 NV9G
080869 -         ..
080870 -    6.  Savx runs for a received document to create the directory
080871 -        structure that enables Knowledge Space, reported on 021013.
080872 -        ref SDS 34 YW5W
080873 -
080874 -           [On 021227 applied savx to create directories for all
080875 -           documents generated from within an SDS reference field.
080876 -           ref SDS 40 YW5W
080878 -         ..
080879 -    7.  Eliminated macro file 0450431 for setting up the letterhead and
080880 -        signature block for documents issued, and for SDS records
080881 -        issued on the Internet. ref SDS 34 6F9F
080883 -         ..
080884 -        Now, the letterhead and signature block are generated by the
080885 -        same process in macro file 0501 that is used for addressing a
080886 -        letter and entering a salutation based on the entries in the
080887 -        document log that initially defines the document.
080888 -        ref SDS 34 NGUQ
080889 -
080890 -           [On 021227 added code to return error messges when secondary
080891 -           fields are missing, so user is alerted to fill this out to
080892 -           maintian Knowledge Space. ref SDS 40 PL8L
080894 -         ..
080895 -    8.  Changed format of Contact records to hopefully make it easier
080896 -        to use these flexible structures, reported on 021019.
080897 -        ref SDS 35 5100
080899 -         ..
080900 -    9.  Eliminated 0450431 and collateral code in support macro files
080901 -        for contact management and compiled macro 000009, reported on
080902 -        021019. ref SDS 35 0333
080904 -         ..
080905 -   10.  Publishing SDS records on the Internet requires a letterhead
080906 -        and contact person with email address that make it fast and
080907 -        easy for people to submit feedback, as explained in NWO.
080908 -        ref OF 2 0936  Making feedback fast and easy encourages efforts
080909 -        to overcome resistance to good management, also, explained in
080910 -        NWO. ref OF 3 2670
080912 -         ..
080913 -        Use 04501 to replace 0450431 for letterhead, contact person and
080914 -        email address that enables people to respond via email to SDS
080915 -        records published on the Internet, reported on 021019.
080916 -        ref SDS 35 VQU1
080918 -         ..
080919 -        Contents are set by "From" field for an issued document in the
080920 -        secondary doc log fields each time a new letter is issued.
080921 -        ref SDS 35 IU4L  Contents of 04501 can be changed without
080922 -        writng a letter by opening a contact record and using the
080923 -        letterehad option in the menu. ref SDS 35 IUBD  Correlating the
080924 -        contents of 04501 so the letterhead publishing SDS records on
080925 -        the Internet is the same as the letterhead for issuing a letter
080926 -        follows customary practice of sending a record of meetings and
080927 -        calls with a transmittal letter.  Since the user of the SDS
080928 -        record is normally the sender of other correspondence in a
080929 -        user's SDS record, this provides a fast, seemless way to
080930 -        normally have the letterhead and contact person for publishing
080931 -        SDS records on the Internet set to the right person.
080933 -         ..
080934 -        The ease of changing this at will to anyone else, provides
080935 -        support for consultants and aids, as explained on 021019.
080936 -        ref SDS 35 UU4N
080938 -         ..
080939 -   11.  Warning is issued when the letterhead and contact person for
080940 -        publishing an SDS record are different from the user name in
080941 -        the SDS record, reported on 021025. ref SDS 36 R69G

151106 - The following tasks typically take about 15 - 30 seconds to accomplish
151107 - the first step in the eight (8) steps shown on 001219. ref SDS 6 4W4L
151108 - The only difference between issuing and receiving a letter is that
151109 - issuing a letter requires doing some writing, whereas receiving a
151110 - letter requires using the get command to read in what has been written
151111 - by someone else. ref SDS 0 BT4O
151113 -      ..
151114 -     [On 021028 sent Gary updated program with improvements for writing
151115 -     and receiving documents. ref SDS 37 0001

151122 -    1.  General.
151123 -
151124 -        Some people are reluctant to write a letter because they fear
151125 -        they don't know what to write and don't have time to research
151126 -        the record to remember critical information.  SDS provides a
151127 -        lot of fire power to solve this problem, as explained in POIMS,
151128 -        ref OF 1 1232, and reported on 950204. ref SDS 5 4995  Better
151129 -        memory using SDS is a big aid to writing an effective letter.
151130 -        ref SDS 5 7499  On 940327 Morris Jones reported that better
151131 -        memory is a self-evident benefit of SDS. ref SDS 3 J496
151133 -         ..
151134 -        The mechanics of writing a letter are fast and easy in SDS.
151136 -         ..
151137 -        Writing a letter is driven by the doc log system that uses the
151138 -        contact system to obtain addresses and signature block, and it
151139 -        uses the subject index together with the date of the SDS record
151140 -        to establish where a document is stored on the computer disk.
151141 -        The integrated design of SDS makes it fast and easy for people
151142 -        to build a flexible format, called out POIMS, ref OF 1 M17I, to
151143 -        write and receive documents, and later to find information when
151144 -        needed.
151146 -         ..
151147 -        These integrated features takes only a few seconds to create
151148 -        control for document management.
151150 -         ..
151151 -        Open an SDS record and set up a record segment with subjects
151152 -        that identify the purpose and objectives of the letter.  This
151153 -        requires creating subject accounts and descriptions in the
151154 -        Subject Index (if they do not already exist), and loading the
151155 -        accounts that identify the subject of the letter into the
151156 -        Control Field of the SDS record.
151158 -             ..
151159 -            Note....
151161 -             ..
151162 -            Subjects are necessary part of identifying a document.  It
151163 -            is actually possible to assign multiple subjecst to a
151164 -            document to reflect the fact that a single document, like
151165 -            an SDS record, a meeting or a phone call, will often have
151166 -            many subjects, sometimes several hundred.  Making all of
151167 -            these entries takes time to figure out and time to
151168 -            physically enter, even though each one only takes a few
151169 -            seconds with SDS.
151171 -             ..
151172 -            As a result, practice using SDS shows that an effective
151173 -            procedure is to spend a few seconds deciding the most
151174 -            logical primary subject for a letter, e.g., what
151175 -            department, function, or project does the letter cover.
151176 -            Typically, any of the several hundred subjects that a
151177 -            document touches can be used for the SDS doc log subject
151178 -            field, which is assigned with the F5 key as explained
151179 -            below. ref SDS 0 HL5F  This procedure enables assemlbing
151180 -            letters on broad subjects.
151182 -             ..
151183 -            The detailed subjects are all entered in SDS record
151184 -            segments that have analysis and background on context,
151185 -            which is linked to specific subjects in the letter.  This
151186 -            has proven the most effective way to manage organic
151187 -            structure of subjects in documents that makes it possible
151188 -            to find everything in SDS quickly, as noted by Eric
151189 -            Armstrong commenting on 010916, ref SDS 28 0001, and
151190 -            contrasting with inability to find anything using programs
151191 -            everybody likes, also, reported on 010916. ref SDS 29 KA6H
151193 -         ..
151194 -    2.  Doc Log Fields created by F1 F5 in Reference Field of SDS
151196 -         ..
151197 -        Primary Doc Log Fields
151199 -         ..
151200 -        SDS uses primary and a secondary fields for creating,
151201 -        identifying and managing documents.  Data in these fields is
151202 -        used in the SDS Doc Log management system.
151204 -         ..
151205 -        F1 F5 is executed with the cursor on a blank line in the
151206 -        narrative section of the SDS record that has the subjects
151207 -        assigned under step 1.  This creates a format for creating doc
151208 -        log fields in the Reference field to identify a document (see
151209 -        explanation of SDS fields, reported on 940901, ref SDS 4 4B7N,
151210 -        and ref SDS 4 028C).
151212 -         ..
151213 -        The screen color changes to alert the User that an operation
151214 -        is underway.
151216 -         ..
151217 -        Mark 3 is entered automatically when F1 F5 is used.  You don't
151218 -        see anything that shows this, but this mark can be used in step
151219 -        three (3) to return to the initial location.
151221 -         ..
151222 -        After striking F1 F5, the User can press F5 again to scroll
151223 -        through four (4) choices to select one of the following doc
151224 -        log formats....

151232 -        ESC and F1 both close the Doc Log field selection process.  The
151233 -        screen color returns to normal.

151242 -        The primary doc log fields are visible on the current screen
151243 -        in columns 1 80.
151245 -         ..
151246 -        The secondary doc log fields are visible by scrolling the
151247 -        screen tapping F8 twice to offset the screen to column 89.  It
151248 -        is not necessary to see these fields for doing the next step of
151249 -        filling out the doc log fields to write a letter.  If you do
151250 -        use F8 to scroll the file, then use F7 to scroll the file back
151251 -        to so the cursor is on column 13.
151253 -         ..
151254 -    3.  Primary Doc Log fields.
151256 -         ..
151257 -        Fill out the "Project" portion of the document identification
151258 -        and enter the subject code into the subject field of the doc
151259 -        log fields.
151261 -         ..
151262 -        The cursor is now on column 13 just below the word "Project"
151263 -        on the doc log field.
151265 -         ..
151266 -        Move the cursor vertically to the Control Field and put it on
151267 -        the line that has the subject assigned for this letter.  It may
151268 -        be necessary to use F9 to scroll the file up in order to
151269 -        position the Control Field on the screen so the cursor can be
151270 -        moved to the subject line in the Control Field.
151272 -         ..
151273 -        Shift F3 returns to Mark 3.  If the Control Field for the
151274 -        letter that is being written or received is very deep in the
151275 -        record, Shift F3 is a faster way to get back to the approximate
151276 -        location in the record for positioning the cursor on the
151277 -        Control Field line with the Subject code for the letter.
151279 -         ..
151280 -        F5 pressed with the cursor on column 13 - 18 of the Control
151281 -        Field line with the subject code for the letter, does the

151334 -            sent, and when a response is due.
151336 -             ..
151337 -            Filling out this field requires that a letterhead format is
151338 -            in the Contact record beginning on line 0016 for the

151375 -                in the doc log fields.
151377 -                 ..
151378 -                The cursor is then placed in the next field to filled
151379 -                out in the Doc Log.

151386 -            Occasionally, some editing is needed for the field that
151387 -            shows when a response is due, however, normally the default
151388 -            of 10 days is adequate.
151390 -             ..
151391 -            For documents like an invoice or formal contract
151392 -            documents that have control numbers assigned, enter this

151495 -        the get command. This normally takes 10 seconds, or it could

151521 -           This takes the most time using cut and paste if there is a

151523 -           structure is mostly implied and not uniform, so it takes
