Usually, we define documentation as what describes the different processes and documentation connected to the organisation's operation. We use these abbreviations: PM=Process map, PD=Process descriptions, AC=Activities, GD=Governing Documents, DWS=Document workspace, OD=Other documents, CL=Contract library, AL=Additional library This table explains where/how such documentation may be stored:

Drawings / Process maps
Drawing processes in the Process Module (PM) creates a visual representation of the processes connected to each portion of the organisation. Each drawing or box can have a Resource Summary, which summarises all documentation for that process in the system. This visual communication of details makes processes easy to understand, navigate through, and you find relevant information within a few clicks. You can populate The Resource Summary of each process with information by tagging each new element in the databases' different lists to one or more of the process list elements. Because they are governing documentation, Process maps/drawings are controlled through Rights Management. Only drawing/map/page owners, co-authors, and Process Administrators can edit drawings. Process maps are also controlled by having a function in Edit-mode for Draft-Approval-Publishing of new versions of drawings. Drawings must be put into "draft mode" to make edits and be sent to approval and publishing before end-users can see the new changes made to a drawing.
