Subject:What type of document is this? From:Sean McKean <Sean -dot- McKean -at- FINEOS -dot- com> To:"techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com" <techwr-l -at- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:29:43 +0000
Can anyone tell me what type of document this is? We're looking to see if there's an industry-standard term that we should be using.
It's a 50-page document that explains what the software does. It lists the features and briefly describes what users can do on each screen. There are no procedures in it though - we have a much longer user's guide for that. It's a post-release document, and it'll be used as a definitive list of what the product contains. We're producing two versions: a 'product' version containing the UI features, and a 'technical' version.
Any ideas?
