Web Server Structure
There is a logical structure to follow to ensure easy maintenance of the web server:
- Help
- Product
- Document 1
- Document 2
- Product
Here is an example from the current state:
Note:
- This is a temporary means of providing Next Gen content to the end users (and product teams) until HelpCenter is ready for us.
- With our end goal in mind of not delivering PDFs with Next Gen applications, we should not make PDFs available from this server. If the team needs a PDF to review, that should be posted in the team's SharePoint site or TFS folder. It is recommended the teams wshould reviewing the webhelp content from the live links we can provide to them as described in Providing Links to the Teams. We should be able to have the teams to review specific topics only - not the entire manual; if we write in chunks to satisfy PBIs, they can review in chunks.
