About This Document
This section defines the purpose and audience for the document.
Purpose
The FJA Documentation Management Plan describes processes used by the FJA team to create and
manage documentation projects and deliverables consistently.
This plan is subject to change as processes are modified and enhanced.
Audience
The intended audiences for this document are FJA personnel who manage, develop, review, and approve FJA documentation.

Executive Summary
A streamlined document management process reaps monetary benefits and supports employee productivity. It also supports audit compliance and contributes to organizational maturity.
The FJA Documentation Management Plan describes repeatable processes to be used by FJA
personnel to create and manage documentation projects and deliverables. This plan is subject to change as processes are modified and enhanced.
Three main document types that support FJA products:
Marketing Documentation, including sales collateral, company templates, logos, and icons.
Project and Release Documentation, including documents for requirements, use cases, design, implementation, testing, deployment, training, and project management.
End-user Documentation, a part of product and release documentation, including release notes, user guides, online help, and installation guides.
After a document is created or modified, document version control is critical. The components of version control include using common repository for documents, tracking version history of a document, and using standard file naming conventions.
Common Repository - As an integral part of version control, storing project documents on Confluence facilitates company-wide access and to prevents re-work.
Version History – Each document contains a Version History table listing the date of the document revision, the document’s version number, the author’s name, and a description of changes made to the version—including the related release number. In addition, a document’s version history is tracked in Confluence in the Comments field, upon document check-in.
File Naming Conventions – As documents are created, uniform file naming conventions assist the FJA staff in identifying document types and facilitate consistent document naming practices. As a result of diligent attention to creating repeatable document management processes, FJA personnel can learn common processes and work across project boundaries with ease.
As we move forward to refine our processes, we strive to attain one common method for document management that is used by all who create documentation.

Tools for Document Development
This chapter defines the tools that FJA uses for creating and updating documentation and the FJA resources and the software tools FJA uses to develop documentation.
2.1 Marketing Style Guide
The FJA Styleguide defines the styles, conventions, rules, procedures, and guidelines that FJA personnel follow to write and produce hard-copy documentation for our customers.
The Marketing Central page on Confluence contains a link to the FJA Styleguide and to all document templates that include the appropriate FJA styles, logos, and icons. Refer to
http://ny-s-conf01.dslocal.com/display/ASSETS/Marketing+Central+Home
2.2 Document Templates
The document templates contain styles, logos, and formatting to create a consistent look for all FJA documents. The Marketing Central page on Confluence contains a link to the document templates that include the appropriate FJA styles, logos, and icons. Refer to
http://ny-s-conf01.dslocal.com/display/ASSETS/Marketing+Central+Home
2.3 Documentation Resources
Beth Buonanno is the technical writer in the Denver, Co. office.

Document Storage and Version Control
FJA uses Confluence for documentation storage and version control. Each project has a Confluence page where documents are stored by project phases, and by draft or final version. To learn how to migrate a project to the new Confluence template shown below, refer to Appendix A.
3.1 Document Storage Locations
Project pages are standard across FJA projects. Each page uses the following template for their project page:
The left navigation panel contains link to document repositories by project phase. Within each phase, documents are stored in a Drafts folder while development is still in process, and a Final folder after the documentation is approved and released. Refer to Chapter 5 Document Review and Approval Process.
The main panel contains the following tables:
Projects Environment table contains links to Basecamp, SVN locations, server names, URLs, and generic login user IDs and passwords.
Milestones Summary table links to JIRA for high-level release milestones.

3.2 Maintaining Document Version Control
Authors of documents should use the following guidelines while using Confluence:
3.2.1
Uploading (or Checking In) a File to Confluence
To upload or check-in a document, simply drag and drop a file from Windows Explorer to your Confluence window.
Note: You can also browse for files using the Attach Files section of the screen.
To upload a file:
1. Navigate to the desired Confluence page.
2. Select files from Windows Explorer and drag them to the desired Confluence page.
Note: If the document is already on the Confluence page and you are uploading a current version,
the document that you drag and drop becomes the current document version.
Important:For existing files, ensure the file name is the same to achieve version control. 3. Add comments to the file—see Section 3.2.2 Adding Comments to a File.
3.2.2
Adding Comments to a File
When checking in a document to Confluence, descriptive comments assist users in finding the correct version of a document. You should add comments in the Comments field including:
Release number—for example Rel 4.5.0.0
Words that define the state of the document—for example obsolete, not used, old, do not implement, approved, final, updated draft for internal review, updated draft with track changes, or deferred.
To add comments to a file:
1. Click to expand the file detail.
2. If not already locked, click Lock to Edit. 3. Click Properties.
4. In the New Comment field, type a comment for this file—see examples above.
5. Click Save. 6. Click Unlock.
Page 10 of 34 Private and Confidential © 2015 FJA-US, Inc. 03/04/2015
3.2.3
Locking a File for Editing
Good practice when updating an existing Confluence document is to Lock to Edit (or checkout) the document. Once locked, other users accessing the same document can be notified that you are working on the document. Clicking Lock to Edit ensures that others are aware the document is being worked on.
To lock a file for editing:
1. Click to expand the file detail. 2. Click Lock to Edit.
The file is locked.
3. To download the latest version for edit, click the filename. 4. Save the file to your hard drive.
3.2.4
Finalizing a Document
Once a document is approved and finalized, the pdf version of the document is stored in the Final
folder.
To finalize a document:
1. Lock the file for editing. See Section 3.2.3Locking a File for Editing. 2. Make any final content and formatting changes.
3. Create a .pdf file.
4. In the Drafts folder, upload the source file—.doc for example—to Confluence, and add the
comments Final.

4 File Naming Conventions
To label files so that they can be readily identified and consistent across projects, FJA has implemented specific rules for naming files.
Filenames should consist of the following information: Client Name Abbreviation (as needed)
Software Abbreviation (as needed)
Document Name
Numbering and Naming Scheme (Use Cases only) Release Number (as needed)
For non-Confluence documents, refer to additional information needed as described in Section 4.7 File Naming Conventions for Documents not in Confluence.

Appendix A: Migration to New Project Template
To set up your new Confluence page, you will need to move all files residing on your current Confluence page to the new page. The procedures below define tasks required to get your new project site up and running. There are two ways to accomplish this task—each with their drawbacks.
Creating a New Confluence Space
This procedure details how to copy the Project Page Template to create a new Confluence space for your project.
1. From the Confluence Home page http://ny-s-conf01.dslocal.com/display/FJAUSHome/Home, under Spaces, click Project Page Template.
2. From the menu bar, click Browse > Space Admin. The Edit Space Details view displays.
3. On the left bar, click Copy Space. The Copy Space view displays. 4. Type the Name for the new space.
5. Type the Key. Ensure that this key contains no spaces and no characters. 6. Keep the default check boxes checked.
7. Your space is created and is visible on the Confluence Home page under Spaces.
Moving Files by Downloading and Uploading Files-
not recommended
This procedure instructs you how to download files from old location and upload files to the new location.
Important: The drawback to using this feature is that previous versions and comments are not moved to the new location.
1. Create a folder on your hard drive to house the files you are about to download. 2. Open the Confluence page where the attachments reside.
3. Download all attachments. a) Click Tools > Attachments.
The list of all attachments displays. b) Select Download All.
The files are grouped into a .zip file. c) Click the file.
The WINRAR window displays.

Moving Attachments to a New Confluence Location
This procedure describes how to move an attachment from one location to another.
Important: Though the comments are moved with the file, the drawback to this procedure is only one file can be moved at a time.
To move a document to a new location:
2. Open the Confluence page where the document resides. 2. Click > to expand details, and click Lock to Edit. 3. Click Properties.
The Properties page displays.
4. In the Page field, type the name of the destination page.
Note for moving attachment to different Confluence space: Every Confluence space has a space key—found by clicking Browse > Space Admin > Space Operations in the Key field. This key name is assigned when a new space is created.
If you wish to move an attachment to a page in a different space, add the space key and : before the page name—for example, DOC:My Destination Page.
5. Click Save.

Appendix B: Tips for Using Confluence
Creating an “Edits” Page on Confluence
Authors that send documents for review will receive edited files from reviewers. These files must be stored on Confluence to maintain traceability of changes.
To create a new sub folder named Edits on Confluence: 1. Navigate to the appropriate Confluence page.
2. On the left navigation bar, drill down and select the drafts folder that will be the top level to the new page—in this example, 07Drafts is the top level.
3. On the menu bar, select Create. The Create Page displays.
4. Click Create.
The new page is displayed.
5. Overtype the name New Page with the name XX Edits. The new page is renamed.
To have attachments display when this page opens, insert the attachments macro on the page. In the body of the page, type {attachments}.
The attachment macro displays. 6. Click Save.

Confluence.
Deleting Specific Versions of Confluence Attachments
Only Confluence administrators have the ability to delete a specific document version. Let’s say that you upload a file to Confluence, and then discover that you need to make another minor change to the document—like a typo—and want to replace the document version only. The “delete” feature in Confluence 5.4 provides this capability to assigned users only.
To delete an attachment:
1. Navigate to the page where the attachment resides. 2. On the top section of the page, click the paper clip .
Attachments are displayed with options for actions. 3. Click > to expand the versions for the document. 4. For the specific version, click Delete.
Caution: When deleting versions, ensure you do not delete the top row that includes the filename, as you will delete the entire document from the page.
The version is deleted from the Confluence page.
Displaying a Powerpoint Document within Confluence Page
In some cases you may want to display a Powerpoint document within the actual Confluence page. For example, you have a project team structure diagram created inVisio, and you want to have the diagram display when a users enters this Confluence page. To accomplish this task, insert a macro into that Confluence page where the document is attached.
To display a .ppt presentation on your Confluence page:
1. Upload the Powerpoint document to the Confluence page. Refer to Section 3.2.1Uploading (or Checking In) a File to Confluence.
2. On the Confluence page, click Edit > Insert > Other Macros. The Select Macro screen displays.
03/04/2015 Private and Confidential © 2015 FJA-US, Inc. Page 33 of 34 3. Select the Office Powerpoint macro.
