Can any body tell the pre-requisites for a Technical Writer to prepare
a help document?

I mean what are the docs or process involved????

I am jotting down what I am provided with in my company.

1. Knowledge Transfer â On application developed.
2. Functionality Document [it talks about tables only and occasionally
validations] nothing about the fields.


TW's please let me know what is the industry process.



A good place to start is here: http://www.uwtc.washington.edu/
