Entering Prod FAQ

As a step towards user guidelines, this page provides a place for us to collect information and questions and answers about the conventions used in PROD entries.

Standards and Technology Information
preferred terms When entering a standard there is an autosuggest feature.
 * This feature is based on the standards catalogue rather than entries for standards in PROD. This links the tag with the standards catalogue dftn of the standard.
 * The term from the standards catalogue should be regarded as the preferred term where it exists to support the use of this feature (This does however, introduce a slight dependency on the dated entries in the standards catalogue that we should be aware of)
 * For standards/ tech not in the catalogue we'll have to manually check the existing list of standards/ tech in PROD to see if a current form exists

granularity of terms
 * When entering details for a project which specifies the version of a standard in use e.g. SCORM 2004 SCORM 1.2
 * Specific standards may be recorded when known but the broader generic term should also be used when e.g. ADL_SCORM.
 * Entering both would let us search/ browse both for the specific implementation and across the whole standard.
