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.
The software I document currently has a Reports section in the Help file.
It goes through each report in the same order they appear in the menu,
explaining both why you would run such a report and the options available.
However, I am wondering if I should expand or replace this with more
task-based topics. A few reports are particularly versatile and get run all
the time for very different reasons. Example: instead of a single topic
about the Posting Report should I add topics like:
* getting a list of all payments made in a quarter;
* getting a list of all charges made by a given user;
* getting a list of all charges made for residential service.
How have others solved this dilemma?
