Levels
Most of these guides have a level designation as well as a title. The three levels are as follows:
- Awareness: Intended for the general public or novice reader. May also serve as an introduction to higher-level documents on the same topic.
- Working: Intended for those who need a working knowledge of the topic. These will tend to focus particularly on how to carry out various tasks, particularly involving services offered by ANDS.
- Expert: Intended only for those who need specialist or advanced management or technical details on this topic.
Not every topic will be covered at all three levels.
