. Modular, task-based information Modular, task-based information (MTBI) is a quick reference for using the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 task-based documentation. MTBI describes the structure of task-based information and how it can be used most effectively.
Modular, task-based information Figure 2 Work flows, task flows, and procedures in task-based documentation How is task-based documentation used? In task-based documentation, procedural information is included in the document. Supporting conceptual and reference information is provided, and the user is guided on how to use conceptual and reference material by identified prerequisites or direct links and references.
Work flows, task flows, and procedures 39 The task flows guide you through activities to use the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, whether it is configuration, upgrading, installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. Each flow provides the prerequisites and links to the tasks or procedures. To perform or refer to a procedure, always follow the task flow. Following the task flows ensures that you meet all the requirements for successful completion of the task.
Modular, task-based information Example procedures Some procedures use examples to show how to correctly perform the procedure with realistic settings. Variable definitions Variable definitions provide the possible values, ranges, or definitions of variables used in the procedure steps. If variables are not used in the procedure, then the variables definition section is omitted. Job aid Job aids provide information help to successfully perform the procedure. The job aid is only used when required.
